In early April, Royal Mint, the Mint UK, unveiled the new designs soon decorate the backs of the coins circulation in the country and were chosen through public tender . I have not yet had in my hands, but seeing the images that are available on the internet my opinion is that new designs are great, elegant and very contemporary look. Much more beautiful that the euro coins, whose face is vulgar and tasteless common and national sides which generally do not show great aesthetic ambition (of course, not Spain). New British coin designs have raised some controversy. Many Welsh people have been annoyed at not finding any symbol of your country in them. This is because the new coins are decorated exclusively with the British coat, which is not present any evidence of Wales itself. Previously, two-pence coins bore the Prince of Wales feathers and some pound coins were decorated with the dragon.
Others have lamented the disappearance Britannia, the country's female allegory whose presence in the English coins dating from the seventeenth century, and until now decorated the coins of 50 pence. More information: Coins of the pound sterling (Wikipedia)
