Britians Royally Patriot

Now this is interesting. Great Britain is set to change their currency, and the winning designs were from a 26 year old Graphic artist named Matthew Dent. He had designed a set or clever-cutaways of the shield and Royal arms. Each amount is a part of the shield and when brought together, the shield looks complete. The royal arms is divided into four parts: England representing the three lions in the first and fourth quarters, the Scottish lion shown in the second and hard of Ireland in the third, and are all spread over the six coins from the 1p to the 50p. Completing the spectrum, the £1 coin features the full shield of the Royal Arms. I love England and when I go back I will have to see if they will still accept my change from 3 years ago.
