for England). There's are some with Britannia herself and some with 
the coat of arms of Britain, featuring the lion and the unicorn.

"Other coins feature a dragon (a really nice one) or a leek or Prince 
of Wales feathers (for Wales), a thistle (for Scotland), various 
weird things (for the EU).  Just rummaging though my change, I can 
also see an oak tree on one - and the phrase "British Oak" springs 
into my head..."

--Hmmm On closer inspection I see that it IS a dragon on the 1 GBP 
coin that I am minutely examining...Also is that Welsh around the 
side of the coin? It's not latin. Can anyone tell me what it means.
