Comments

(en) In 1986 the Royal Mint released the third one pound coin in the 'Royal Diadem' series, it was issued for circulation as well as part of the Annual Coin Sets in both Brilliant Uncirculated & Proof versions, while also being released in an individual BU pack (no sales data). The 1986 coin was also struck in silver proof and silver piedfort.

This Leslie Durbin reverse design was repeated one more time on a second edition in 1991, again issued for circulation as well as part of the Annual Coin Sets for 1991, in both Brilliant Uncirculated & Proof versions.

There is an error for this type without edge inscription. The example shown in the image below is part of a BU set. The one pound coin is on the left in the foreground. Behind it is the two pound coin with part of its edge lettering visible.
