Is it rare?
Rarity: Only obtainable in BU/proof sets. Condition and any minting errors have the biggest effect on what it's worth.
What to look for
1998 and 1999 round pounds (Royal Arms reverse, Maklouf then later portrait) were NOT released into circulation - available only via Royal Mint annual BU/proof sets, because the new £2 coin in 1998 meant sufficient coinage existed. Date-run collectors must source these from set breaks; circulated 1998/1999 round pounds essentially do not exist as issued.
