| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central device depicts a detailed representation of the Menai Suspension Bridge, the iconic structure spanning the Menai Strait between mainland Wales and Anglesey, designed by Thomas Telford and opened in 1826. The bridge is framed within a decorative border composed of stylised railings and stanchions, referencing the bridge's architectural ironwork. The denomination ONE POUND appears in the field, completing the composition by Edwina Ellis. |

Piedforts — struck at double the standard thickness on the same dies — have been a Royal Mint collector vehicle since their modern revival in 1982, used consistently to mark the annual pound coin reverse rotation. The Menai Bridge reverse was part of that rotating series honoring bridges of the four UK nations, with the Menai design representing Wales in 2005. Thomas Telford's suspension bridge, completed in 1826, was an engineering landmark that finally connected the Anglesey mainland crossing without tidal dependency.
Mintage for piedfort issues in this period was typically held well below 10,000, making most of them genuinely scarce rather than artificially so.
