| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of the Menai Suspension Bridge, spanning the Menai Strait between mainland Wales and Anglesey, rendered in stylised relief. The bridge design is enclosed within a decorative border composed of railings and stanchions, characteristic of the bridge's ironwork. The denomination legend appears in the lower field. As a contemporary counterfeit, the relief and fine detail of the bridge and border elements are notably inferior to those of the genuine Royal Mint issue, with weak or blurred striking evident throughout the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 2012, the Royal Mint estimated that roughly one in thirty pound coins in circulation was counterfeit — a figure alarming enough to justify scrapping the entire one-pound series in favor of the twelve-sided bimetallic coin introduced in 2017. The Menai Bridge reverse, issued from 2005, was among the most frequently faked of the fourth-portrait series, with forgeries varying wildly in edge lettering quality and alloy color.
This example is the counterfeit, not the genuine article.
