This is the 2005 BU issue with a mintage of 87,400. The Elizabeth II 4th portrait £1 coin, issued in 2005 by the Royal Mint, is notable for its distinctive design featuring Sir Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which reflects a modern interpretation of royal portraiture. The reverse side showcases the iconic Menai Bridge, a symbol of engineering prowess and Welsh heritage, emphasizing the coin's connection to the United Kingdom's diverse cultural landmarks. With a mintage of 99,557,463, this coin is relatively common in circulation, earning a rarity score of 2 out of 10, making it accessible to collectors. Despite its abundance, the coin remains significant for its artistic representation of national pride and its role in the transition to the twelve-sided £1 coin introduced in 2017, marking a period of change in British currency. Collectors often appreciate this piece for its historical context and as part of the broader narrative of British numismatics during the early 21st century.
