Above is a more recent example of Matthew Dents work. To celebrate 200 years since the birth of Charles Dickens, Matthew designed the two pound sterling featuring the well known titles of Dickens's  work which was released back in 2012. The design I believe is brilliant and unique to find such detail on a coin, not only does it celebrate the historical work of Charles Dickens but represents the power and culture of Britain and its existing for hundreds of years.

Matthew Dent is a British graphic designer from Wales. After researching him I found that his designs were selected for the reverse side of the seven coins of the pound sterling. The six coins above contain the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom across the reverse side of them with the one pound containing the full coat of arms. This I believe is a great example of practical graphic design. Its informative and useful yet still has an curious element if you did not know that the set of coins represent the United Kingdoms Royal coat of arms.
