It's the Welsh pound coin, with the Menai Suspension bridge design, I think.

Surely it's not a Welsh coin, how did it ever get spent and taken out the country :thinking:

It is that exact one and it looks fairly new. I will take a photo of the full coin and add it straight after dinner. Any comments on the magnification or quality? It looks fairly good magnification to me?!? Only used on camera flash for all of these too.

but nicely magnified though!!

Thanks for the comment. I'm quite happy with this and if I can't get some extreme magnification on this then I still have the two lens reversed technique to try
