A one pound coin can survive at least for 40 years. The one pound note would be removed from circulation by 1988. This coin’s design, also known as ‘the round pound,’ would be used four more times in 1993, 1998, 2003, and 2008. On 15 October 2017, this round £1 coin lost its legal tender status and was pulled out of circulation in favour of the current dodecagon design with a silver centre and outer gold ring. The change was made, in large part, due to the higher difficulty to counterfeit the new design. Royal Arms 1983 1 Pound CoinThe 1983 1 pound coin is designed by Eric Sewell, the chief engraver at the Royal Mint at the time. It features the UK’s Royal Coat of Arms, with the guardian lion to the left and the Scottish unicorn to the right. The crest contains the words, ‘Honi Soit Qui Mal y Pense Dieu et Mon Droit,’ or ‘Evil unto him who thinks evil of it God and my right.Despite its gold appearance, the coin is actually an alloy of copper, zinc, and metal. It’s the only UK coin to have this yellow color
