Scottish pound coin

Had pointed out to me today I was being handed in change a very attractive pound coin with thistle emblem on it. Mint condition, on going through my 

recent change, I have another five of them, all mint condition. Were these only released after the vote on September this year ? Make us feel wanted ? Totally new design to previous Nationalistic Royal Mint coinage.

Did anybody see them prior to September this year ?

There is 3 or 4 backs to the pound coin, a Thistle, A Leek , A crown & something else,( might be a harp) been like that for years,

Harp is right yeah. The standard for the Queen isn't it?

 

Never look at my change that closely. Missus spends it too fast. :mad:

The backs are ment to represent the 4 countries than make up Great Britian. ( well that's my guess anyway)

I saw one yesterday that had an Edinburgh design on it. Think the date was 2013.
