Edwina Ellis, a trailblazing printmaker and former contributor to the 'Art on the Underground' project, designed the innovative 'Roundel' coin. This distinctive piece showcases the iconic London Underground logo, which has been a recognizable symbol since its debut in 1908. The coin's edge is inscribed with the cautionary phrase "MIND THE GAP," a familiar warning to London's tube passengers. Adding to its authenticity, Ellis incorporated the Johnston typeface—a bespoke font created specifically for London Underground signage—in the coin's lettering. This thoughtful design choice further emphasizes the coin's connection to the rich history and visual identity of London's underground transit system.
