Welcome to the forum.
I cannot tell if it is the photo or the coin, but the details on that coin appear poorly defined. That particular coin was forged in great numbers, so you may have just a poor quality fake.
Can you post sharp detailed pictures of both sides, and also some of the edge? Also, what is its weight, to the nearest 0.1g? This will help determine what you have.

 All the circulation one pound coins prior to 2016 were made in a single colour yellow metal. The only ones made in white metal were Silver proof coins, which you would be very unlikely to find in your change. Having said that, I agree with Anaximander, the strike detail on your example is so weak it may well be a fake. Often these were more yellow in colour the real ones, so that may be what has attracted your attention. |

I agree with PaddyB, that this coin could be a fake,but I wounder why it's not different in weight from the regular issue, if I remember it correctly offcours. It's weight is 9,6 g.-9,7 g and the coin I have also is 9,6 g.  |

The fakers go to a lot of trouble to get the weight right as otherwise all the coin operated machines (parking meters etc) will reject it. Even when they were making plastic £1s of the old sort, they had a lead core to get the weight right.

Thank you for the information, it's very helpful for me because I didn't know very much for those fakes, but can the fakers also make the edge as the regular coins.
