Well there you go your very own jigsaw worth 88p.  I'm sure its old news, but I hadn't seen the final designs.  what do we reckon then?

Kinda strange, mixed feelings about them. I had no idea the coins had been given a makeover.
I like the concept, and the individual designs are striking, but I like that on the old coins, each one had a separate identity.

I wonder if they'll still be doing special editions of the £1 and the 50p ?

The problem with special editions is that they would break up the big picture of the sheild.
