Matthew Dent who won the open competition to design the new coins, launched by the Royal Mint, in August 2005, was born the year before the 20 pence coin entered circulation. A graphic designer, originally from north Wales, with a nice sense of humour, Dent has shown that it is possible, even in 2008, to design coins that most people will probably like, while playing intelligently with traditional motifs.
