| Additional information |
Issued as part of the Royal Mint's ongoing commemorative crown program, this piece continues a long tradition of pairing Welsh and English national symbols on a single coin — a practice with political undertones that date back to the fraught incorporation of Wales into the English crown under Henry VIII's Acts of Union in 1536. The leek's use as a Welsh emblem predates that union by centuries, with medieval soldiers reputedly wearing them to distinguish sides in battle.
