Very thick, golden-color (nickel-brass) U.K. one-pound coin, a stellar addition for your collection, for jewelry-making or just as a conversation piece!
The back of the coin features an Oak tree in a coronet, representing England.
The text along the rim of the coin reads: DECUS ET TUTAMEN, which is the motto of a British Army cavalry regiment, later artillery - The Essex Yeomanry, established in 1794. "Decus" means shield, virtue, honor or glory; and "tutamen" means defense or protection, thus the meaning is said to be: "shield and protection" or "honour and defense", etc.
All modern British coins carry a Latin inscription whose full form is ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR, meaning "Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen and Defender of the Faith". The inscription appears on the coins in any of several abbreviated forms, typically ELIZABETH II D G REG F D.
