Need Help Identifying A Coin

[ccheese]

To the lads who reside in the UK. I have a coin, very light gold color. On the face there is a image of Her
Majesty, The Queen [in her younger years] facing right. Around the face of the coin, of the left of the Queen's
profile, it says "DGREG-F-D1984". On the right side of the profile it says "ELIZABETHII.

On the obverse side of the coin it says "One Pound" and has a picture of a tree growing thru a crown.

The coin is thicker than a U.S. Nickle [5 Cent piece[, and on the edge is engraved a cross, then "NEMO
ME IMPUNE LACESSIT.

I have no clue where I got it or what it's worth in usd.

Help would be appreciated. My camera won't take a close up shot of it.

Thanks...

Charles

Sounds like a pound coin. It would be worth 1 British pound. From the sounds of it, it was likely minted in 1984. The link below may help:

It should have a date on it
Also, if you drop it and it makes a deadened noise instead of a tinkle, it's a pound coin

Here are some coins that I scanned, they read (from left to right) England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
Same for the second row, the two bottom ones I'm not sure

Edit: just had a closer look, the two bottom ones appear to be an amalgamation of all four

also at the way things are going, the longer you keep it Charles, the less it'll be worth !

Karl's right; those in the pic Colin posted are currently worth a total, of around £7 ........!

Thanks, Lads... The coin I have is in the second row down, third from left. I guess it was minted in 1984

Now, what do I do with it ? Anybody want it ??

The latin motto NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT is the motto of the order of the thistle, it is actually thistles growing through a crown on your coin so you are proud owner of a Scottish pound, they are worth about 20cents in the US. Its actually worth about 1.5 US dollars enough for a game of pool lol

Had me digging through my small collection, the closest I had was a 1983 Pound...has latin inscribed on the edge of the coin, through the reeding.
