Hidden jigsaw puzzle found on British coins

A tricky and complicated jigsaw puzzle found on the back of British coins.
As a quick follow up to last week's Easter egg themed blog post, I thought I would also mention a hidden jigsaw puzzle from the Royal Mint found on the back of British coins. Anyone who uses cash a lot might already be familiar with this, but those who prefer to pay by card may not be aware of it yet.

The pieces of the puzzle can be found on the back of recent editions of British coins from 1p up to 50p, i.e. 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p, and when put together the coins display the image of a shield. If you’re struggling to complete the jigsaw puzzle then you can also find the solution on the back of recent editions of the British pound coin, i.e. it shows how the shield should look when the correct coins are in place. Although to be fair, you shouldn’t really need the solution to complete the puzzle as it only involves six pieces!
