In 2008 the general circulation coins of the United Kingdom were changed to fit a puzzle design. These coins were created by Matt Dent after a public competition. He created a design based on the Royal Shield of Arms, however very few people realize that you can piece together the complete shield design as seen on the £1 coin using the other coins in the series. The major design feature was the introduction of a reverse design shared across six coins (1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p), that can be pieced together to form an image of the Royal Shield. This was the first time a coin design had been featured across multiple coins in this way. Upon returning from my trip to England and Wales, I wanted to display my UK coins within the puzzle design and thus the coin holder was designed and then 3D printed. The UK coins fit nice and tight.
