The nickel-brass pound had only been introduced in 1983, but it was decided to produce four different national reverse designs in a four year cycle, plus a "Royal" design in the fifth year. The obverse of the 1984 coin shows the Arnold Machin portrait of The Queen which was adopted for decimalisation, and was used on nearly all UK coinage from 1968 to 1984. The obverse on the remaining three coins feature an effigy of The Queen by the sculptor Raphael Maklouf. The reverse of the coins represent England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
