New designs revealed for UK coins

The Royal Mint has revealed the new designs for the Tails side of UK coins which when gathered together, build a larger picture. The new designs have been chosen via an open competition which was widely publicised in the national media in August 2005 and attracted 4,000 entries. The winning designer is 26-year-old Matthew Dent, originally from Bangor who now lives and works in London as a graphic designer.
