The new £1 coin will feature a drawing by a 15-year-old who has won a competition to design the "tails" side.
David Pearce, from Walsall, was told the news by Chancellor George Osborne, who said the image would be "recognised by millions in the years ahead".
It features the four plants associated with the four nations that make up the UK.
The new coin has the same shape as the old 12-sided threepence piece (3d) - not used since 1971.
