1999 UK Coin £1 Silver Proof Scottish Lion

 

This 1999 silver proof £1 coin features a standing lion rampant representing Scotland by Norman Sillman. This is the first in a four coin series of national emblems symbolising each of the four countries of Great Britain.

Struck in sterling silver, this collectable coin comes in a presentation box with a certificate of authenticity.

It was decided that from 1984, British £1 coins would feature different reverse designs for each of the four countries of the United Kingdom. The silver proof one pound coin is British legal tender and is exempt from Capital Gains Tax.

The edge of the coin features the inscription NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT. This translates to No-one Provokes Me With Impunity.

On 28 March 2017, the circulated round pound was replaced by the 12 sided £1 coin. On the 15 October the round £1 coin will cease to be legal tender.

Obverse

The obverse bears the fourth coin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.

Reverse

The reverse features a standing lion rampant within a double tressure flory counter flory border. This design by Norman Sillman represents Scotland. The design sits above the value ONE POUND.

*As always with silver the coin may show slight toning/clouding*
