| Beschrijving voorzijde | Fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicted as a right-facing diademed and draped bust occupying the central field. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the hair and diadem. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH·II·D·G REG·F·D·2014 in raised Latin characters, with the date 2014 positioned at lower right. The engraver's initials IRB appear in small letters below the truncation of the bust. The deeply mirrored proof fields provide strong contrast against the frosted portrait. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design by Timothy Noad depicting an intertwined floral composition representing Northern Ireland and Scotland: three shamrock leaves (trefoil) symbolising Ireland appear at upper left, while a flax plant with open blossom occupies the right field, its stems and leaves gracefully intertwining across the coin's surface. The composition is rendered in high sculptural relief against deeply mirrored proof fields, creating a strong frosted contrast. The denomination ONE POUND is inscribed in raised capital letters along the lower arc of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to the final year of the four-nation pound coin series before the Royal Mint retired the round £1 in favor of the twelve-sided bimetallic version introduced in 2017. The switch was driven primarily by counterfeiting concerns — by 2014, an estimated one in thirty £1 coins in circulation was fake, a figure HM Treasury considered untenable.
The silver proof was struck for collectors only, never entering circulation.
