The Royal Mint - 2016 marks the end of an era in Britain's coinage as The Royal Mint issues the last 'round pound'. The coin was introduced in 1983 and has been decorated with patriotic designs for more than three decades. The round pound will make way for a new 12-sided coin in 2017 but not before it has a final send off. The round £1 coin will begin to be phased out in 2016, so this farewell coin will not enter circulation, however, you have an opportunity to own the last 'round pound' before it passes from currency to history.
