The Acts of Union (two separate acts, one of 1706 passed in the English parliament and the other in 1707 passed in the Scottish parliament) united England and Scotland to form Great Britain. Viewed initially as a hostile merger, generally the two kingdoms have worked together pretty well ever since. In 2014 Scotland voted on whether to leave the union and become and independent nation once again. The electorate voted with 55.4% to stay in the union with England. The design is by Yvonne Holton and depicts jigsaw pieces of the English rose and Scottish thistle.
The edge reads: UNITED INTO ONE KINGDOM
