Coolest. Coins. Ever. #
April 2nd, 2008 | In Worth Seeing
The UK’s Royal Mint does it right:
As you can see [by clicking the title link], the Shield of the Royal Arms has been given a contemporary treatment and its whole has been cleverly split among all six denominations from the 1p to the 50p, with the £1 coin displaying the heraldic element in its entirety. This is the first time that a single design has been used across a range of United Kingdom coins.
