2001 One Pound Coin - Celtic Cross and Torc

The 2001 One Pound Coin. 

The Reverse is a Celtic Cross with a Pimpernel Flower in the centre surrounded by an ancient Torc representing Northern Ireland. Some describe it as a Celtic cross, Broighter collar and pimpernel. The design, by Norman Sillman, was used in 1996 and 2001.

The Obverse is the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.

The Edge Inscription is DECUS ET TUTAMEN which means 'An ornament and a safeguard'.
