This is an authentic United Kingdom 1 Pound coin from 2011, featuring Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during her remarkable reign (1952-2022). Struck in nickel brass composition with a weight of 9.5 grams and diameter of 22.5mm, this coin represents the iconic round pound design that circulated throughout the UK during this period.

A significant piece of British numismatic history, this coin becomes particularly noteworthy as the round pound was officially demonetized on October 15, 2017, making it no longer legal tender. This transition marked the end of an era, as the Royal Mint replaced it with the twelve-sided bi-metallic pound coin.

Collectors prize 2011-dated examples for their historical significance during Queen Elizabeth II’s final decades of reign. The coin’s standard circulation grade combined with its post-demonetization status makes it an excellent addition to any British coin collection or historical currency portfolio. Whether you’re a seasoned numismatist or beginning your collecting journey, this withdrawn denomination offers both historical value and nostalgic appeal. Perfect for those interested in modern British coinage, currency evolution, or Elizabeth II memorabilia.
