The Royal Mint has released a collection called "Royal Arms" in 2019. The coin depicts the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom, symbolising the power of the monarchy.
On the coin, the coat of arms is held by the crowned Lion of England and the Unicorn of Scotland chained by a crown around its neck. The first and fourth quarters of the shield show the three lions of England. The second quarter shows the lion of Scotland. The third quarter shows the harp of Ireland. Each quarter represents nations of the United Kingdom. Beneath the coat of arms are the leek of Wales, the trefoil of Ireland, the English Tudor rose and the thistle of Scotland.
