History and design

This is a collector version of the 1 Pound - Elizabeth II – Gateshead Millennium Bridge. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge £1 is the last of four round pounds, issued one a year from 2004, that each show a bridge from one part of the United Kingdom. It represents England. The earlier three were the Forth Railway Bridge, the Menai Bridge and the Egyptian Arch. The Menai Bridge dates from 1826; the Gateshead bridge was six years old when the coin was struck.

The Royal Mint's figures give 26,180,160 for circulation, the lowest of the four bridge pounds and about a quarter of the 99,429,500 struck for the Menai coin two years earlier. It is still a large issue: 13 round £1 entries from 1983 to 2015 are lower.

The next new £1 design was the Royal Shield of 2008, which then ran every year. Round pounds lost their legal tender status at midnight on 15 October 2017.

Edwina Ellis, an Australian-born wood engraver, designed all four bridge reverses. Here the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is shown inside a border of struts, with ONE POUND beneath.

The Royal Mint records that the bridge opened to the public on 17 September 2001 and stretches 126 metres across the River Tyne, and credits its arched design to Gifford and Partners with Wilkinson Eyre. Check Your Change describes it as a tilting bridge for pedestrians and cyclists.

The milled edge has no lettering. It carries an incuse decorative pattern that the Royal Mint describes as symbolising bridges and pathways. The obverse has the fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley.
