History and design
This is a collector version of the 1 Pound - Elizabeth II – Leek and Daffodil. The history below is that coin's; the mintage, varieties and collecting notes on its page do not apply to this strike.
In 2013 the £1 coin reached its thirtieth year, and the Royal Mint marked it with a new four-coin set that returned to the floral theme of the first round pounds. England and Wales came in 2013, Northern Ireland and Scotland in 2014. The Mint revealed the first two designs on 30 November 2012 and sold them at once as a two-coin Brilliant Uncirculated pack. Gold and silver proof versions of the Wales coin followed in July 2013.
The Royal Mint's figures give 5,270,000 Wales coins struck for circulation, exactly the figure for the England coin. Only five of the 41 round £1 entries from 1983 to 2015 are lower: Edinburgh, Cardiff, London, the 2008 Royal Arms and the 2014 Scotland coin at 5,185,000. The standard Royal Shield pound dated 2013 had 13,090,500.
Round pounds lost their legal tender status at midnight on 15 October 2017.
The reverses are by Timothy Noad, a numismatic and medallic artist and Fellow of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators. Each pairs two plant emblems of one nation, which the Mint said had not been done on United Kingdom coinage before. For Wales a leek and a daffodil stand side by side with their leaves intertwined, accompanied by the words ONE POUND.
The Mint's account is that the leek has long symbolised Wales and is said to have been used by St David to distinguish his men in battle. The daffodil is thought to have joined it through a confusion of names, since its Welsh name, Cenhinen Pedr, is close to Cenhinen, the word for leek.
Noad said: "In my work, I often use plants and flowers in a decorative way, combining natural forms and heraldic stylisation."
The milled edge reads PLEIDIOL WYF I'M GWLAD, "True am I to my country". The obverse has Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of Elizabeth II.
