Graphic designer, Matthew Dent won the competition for the design of the new coins for the UK. The design is based on the Shield of Royal Arms. An idea which is uniquely and cleverly split over the coins, and then repeated on the £1 coin. This is the first time that a single design has been used across a range of United Kingdom coins. These coins should be in circulation now, although I haven't seen any myself yet, I think Dent has come up with an intelligent idea and solid design which represents Great Britain's history and heritage sucessfully.

I've had a couple of the 1p coins and I thought they where a nice design on thir own - i didnt realise that all the coins would work together - what a fantastic idea!
Agree with Danny. I got a couple of coins and just thought they were nice designs in themselves then someone told me they all fitted together. Until now though I hadn't seen them all together.
