Coin of the realm

wwI'm not a designer, so I'll just have to say I like this, rather than give any clever reasons why...

New designs for the coins that will soon be jangling in the pockets of us Brits. In good modern fashion, the Royal Mint ran an open competition for these, that was won by young designer Matthew Dent. The focal point is the shield on the £1 coin, with details then exploded out on the smaller denominations.

Nice.
