The reverse of the coins represent England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The 1984 pound shows a Scottish thistle, 1985 shows a Leek to represent Wales, 1986 honours Northern Ireland with a flax plant, and finally 1987 shows an oak tree to represent England, all these plants are encircled by the Royal Diadem (crown),
The reverse designs are by renowned silversmith Leslie Durbin, CBE.
