Britain’s New Money

This is pretty cool.  Britain’s new coinage is a puzzle.

...the Shield of the Royal Arms has been given a contemporary treatment and its whole has been cleverly split among all six denominations from the 1p to the 50p, with the £1 coin displaying the heraldic element in its entirety. This is the first time that a single design has been used across a range of United Kingdom coins.

Hat tip Letters in Bottles.
