| Reverse description | A naturalistic Scottish thistle plant, engraved by Leslie Durbin, occupies the central field, depicted in full botanical detail with spiny serrated leaves, a prominent central flower head in bloom, and several lateral buds at varying stages of flowering. The thistle stem rises from a spreading root system at the base and passes through a royal crown positioned at centre, symbolising Scotland's emblematic flower under royal authority. The legend ONE POUND is inscribed in two lines along the lower arc of the coin. A beaded border frames the entire design, consistent with the companion proof and piedfort issues of this series. |
