The Royal Mint released a new 1-pound coin in 2017. The new design was created by a 15-year-old schoolboy, David Pierce, who beat out more than 6,000 competitors.
In 2022, a special memorial coin set was released to mark the end of Queen Elizabeth II's 70-year reign and the start of a new era in the British monarchy. Each of the definitive coins bears a unique privy mark (26/22) on the obverse, which shows the Queen's birth year and the year of her passing.
