Gold Pattern £1 Coins

Pattern coins do not have a denomination and are not British legal tender. These coins are sold as secondary market items. As they are sold on the Special Scheme, you only pay VAT on our margin (included in the price). 

Pattern Bridges Set

The Royal Mint issued limited edition collector sets of the coins in gold and silver, known as ‘pattern pieces’. These special 2003-dated coins were produced to familiarise collectors with the new designs. They are not legal tender.

The coins in the sets will have on the obverse the portrait of the Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley, approved for use on United Kingdom coins from 1998, and they will be dated 2003.

The coins feature reverse bridge designs representing England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (The Forth Bridge for Scotland, The Menai Straits Bridge for Wales, MacNeill’s Egyptian Arch for Northern Ireland and The Millennium Bridge, in Gateshead, for England.) The reverse designs are by wood engraver Edwina Ellis, who won a limited competition judged by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee.

The new series of designs was required because the existing four-year sequence of reverse designs came to an end in 2002. It will represent the third series of £1 reverse designs. The first series of “Floral” designs was used between 1984 and 1987 and again between 1989 and 1992. The second series of “Heraldry” designs was used between 1994 and 1997 and was then repeated between 1999 and 2002. During the intervening years, and in 2003, designs representing the whole of the United Kingdom were employed.
