In 2011 to celebrate the Capital Cities of the United Kingdom, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Edinburgh £1 One Pound Gold Proof Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold.
The reverse of the Edinburgh Coin shows the Coat of Arms of Edinburgh.
The obverse design is the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
