Mr Dent said: "For designs of mine to appear on a medium as significant and prestigious as the United Kingdom's coinage and to be produced and circulated in millions is a tremendous honour."
The six designs on the 1p through to the 50p coins can be pieced together to form a complete image of the royal shield of arms. The £1 coin features the complete shield.
It is the first time a single design has been used across a range of coins in this way.
Coins featuring the old familiar designs such as the one penny piece's portcullis and chains will stay in circulation. This includes more than 800 million 50p coins featuring Britannia.
Dents design is incredibly innovative and creative the use of the british crest really highlights the values of britian not only this but the use of applying this to all the coins really celebrates monarchy and independence.
