What is a 1p shield on a £1 coin?
I have a £1 coin with a strange marking on it that says 1p shield. What does this mean? Is it some kind of special edition or variety of the £1 coin? I'm curious to know the background and significance of this 1p shield marking.


What is the oldest circulating £1 coin in the UK?
Could you please enlighten me on the identity of the oldest £1 coin that is still in circulation within the United Kingdom? I'm intrigued to know which coin holds this prestigious title and whether it holds any particular significance or historical value. I'm eager to learn more about its design, mintage year, and the circumstances that led to its longevity in the coinage system.
