| Reverse description | Central device depicts a Scottish thistle in bloom, shown as a naturalistic sprig with multiple flowering heads and jagged leaves, surmounted by a Royal Crown. The composition, designed by Leslie Durbin, occupies the full central field and is enclosed within a beaded border. The denomination ONE POUND appears as a curved legend beneath the central device along the lower rim. The overall execution of the design, including the crown and thistle details, is noticeably crude and poorly defined, consistent with the characteristics of a contemporary forgery of the genuine 1984 Royal Mint issue. |
