2009 1 Pence - Royal Shield Design

This is the second year of the Royal Shield design.

Coin was scanned at work on an Epson Stylus DX3850. Used Microsoft Office Picture Manager to crop the image before posting.

I still have not seen any other 2009 coins and still have not seen a few of the old style 2008 coins in circulation either (2 pence, 20 pence, and 50 pence).

In 2008, they made both the Royal Shield Design and older design.

Finding Royal Shield 2008 coins from circulation are not the problem but finding some of the 2008 older designs are. Also have not seen either of the 2008 £2 in circulation.
