Four Commemorative Designs

£2 Florence Nightingale

During the Crimean War Florence Nightingale took a team of nurses to the battlefields to care for the ill and critically injured troops. She brought order and cleanliness to the hospitals there becoming known as ‘The Lady with the Lamp’ as she tended the wounded at night. The £2 coin struck in her honour celebrates 150 years of nursing care with the background symbolising the rays of light from her lamp.

£1 Cities Series – London and Belfast

The two new £1 coins making their debut in 2010 begin a new series of four celebrating the great cities of the UK. London and Belfast feature in 2010 with Cardiff and Edinburgh due to follow in 2011. The reverses each bear the heraldic devices of the four cities while highlighting each one specifically.

50p Girl Guides

The Girl Guides Association was founded in 1910 to give girls the same opportunities and experiences available to boys in the Scouts. The charming 50p coin marking the centenary of the Girl Guide movement features a repeating pattern of the Girlguiding UK identity, their interlinking form conveying a sense of protection, trust and unity.

Eight Circulating Coins

£2 Technology

When it was first struck in 1997, the definitive £2 coin was the first bi-colour coin of the United Kingdom. Its reverse design was the result of a public competition and celebrates the march of technological progress in Britain from the Iron Age to the Internet Age.

£1 Royal Arms

Unveiled in 2008, the definitive £1 design depicts the shield of the Royal Arms, a symbol of Britain’s ancient royal heritage.

1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p

Like the definitive £1, the designs for Britain’s lower denomination coins were created by Matthew Dent.  Each one portrays a portion of the shield of the Royal Arms.  When arranged correctly, they depict the famous shield in its entirety.

Colourful Presentation Folder

The coins are housed in a colourful presentation folder.

Limited Issue
