Dominique Evans, Royal Mint senior designer, added a balancing scale to an ancient compass face on the reverse. Pursuing economic equilibrium inspired this unique design that conveys balance and connectedness. Dominique Evans describes the design as having a profoundly personal touch:
"My grandfather was a bank manager who had a large set of scales from the bank, which I have inherited. They very much naturally became the integral part of the design and I am delighted that they have become part of a coin design of which my grandad would have been so very proud. Every time I get some good luck or have made a step towards achieving something, I say 'cheers' to him. He was one of the people who allowed me to believe I could pursue my dreams and because of that, I am doing what I love, which is such a precious thing."Martin Jennings designed His Majesty King Charles III's first coinage portrait, the world's first bullion coin.
