2003 UNITED KINGDOM SILVER ONE POUND COIN. The one pound coin for 2003 (donated by Jeff Bentley) displays the royal Arms, Britain’s noblest heraldic emblem. In their present form, the royal Arms remain essentially those of Queen Victoria and today represent the Queen’s sovereignty over the whole of the United Kingdom. Created for the original one pound coin of 1983, the finely detailed depiction of the Royal Arms is by Eric Sewell, formally Chief Engraver of the Royal Mint. This one pound coin weighs 9.50 grammes, and is struck to the highest Proof quality in sterling silver. Only 25,000 were made. It comes in an elegant blue case.
