The Royal Mint unveiled a new £1 coin, revived from Leslie Durbin's 1984 'Thistle' design to pay homage to Scotland. For the last 50 years, it has been tradition for Scotland to receive special recognition in coinage and this new design is faithful to this custom while also powerfully representing the rest of the UK in the new one-pound coin.
1989 saw the fall of the Berlin Wall, which had divided East and West Germany, and marked the collapse of the Iron Curtain and communist Europe. It was also a memorable year for television with; BBC's Eastenders running a major storyline on the shooting of 'Dirty Den' and ITV broadcast the first episode of new soap, Home and Away. 1989 also witnessed; Princess Diana perform the opening ceremony for the Landmark Aids Centre in London shaking hands with AIDS victims, and Nintendo launching its first Gameboy. This Royal Mint 1989 collection marks an extraordinary year for coinage and current affairs, and now you can purchase a piece of this historical year.
