JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 06/20/2021 7:03 pm If you mean with "Decus Et Tutamen" one way up or the other - it's worth the same (not much) whichever way up it is. The lettering was added to the planchet first, so it could turn out either way up when struck. Edited by JohnConduitt 06/20/2021 7:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

My local bank will still let me exchange them for face value, so it's still worth £1. Pristine Uncirculated ones are worth a little more, but not much as 1983 was the first year of issue and large numbers were put aside at the time.
