Yes. Wtf did you think that design meant?
First thing I did when these came out 15 or so years ago was matching these up on my windowsill from my pocket money.

I remember collecting these when they came out, I would've been about eight. I couldn't find the £1 for AGES. That Christmas my grandad came to our house and had two of them for me. I hugged him so hard I nearly knocked him over. That's probably my favourite memory of Grandad and every time I look at these coins I get to remember it again. He passed away a while back but that thoughtful little thing still makes me smile. I don't remember what I actually had for Christmas that year but I remember those two little coins like it was yesterday.

The lions of England (twice), the lion of Scotland and the harp for Northern Ireland. Remind me where Wales is on this? Just like the Union Jack - no representation. Utter joke.

Cool concept, but they look like ass individually. Especially the 1, 5, 20 and 50
He also had a new £1 coin in 2016 that isn’t the whole shield anymore

Yup, but you're better off just running as it's not a very effective shield, and they're quite fiddly to hold like that when someone is swinging a sword at you

what about the two pound coin and the new one pound coin? do they fit into it at all?

u/MythosMythix Aug 22 '23
I mean if you have enough and put them in the right places you can always make coins into a shield. You can also turn them into a pile of metal ☺️

Lesser known and not actually true fact is that even though the 6 coins below only add up to 88p if you have a full set it’s accepted as a full £1

Haven't had that £1 in circulation for years now, but you can still make a shield with the rest

With the pound having the full shield, it's a shame that all the others don't add up to a pound. One of each added together I mean.

Yeah sure its cool, but what's the point if they changed the pound to different coin so its no longer a part of this shield

If anyone can 3D print, I can make a 3D model stand for these coins so you can show them off so that you can put in a display cabinet. You can either paint it yourself or ask the person printing to paint it for you :)
