The English Oak Tree £1 was issued in 1995 and 2000
The first reverse design series of £1 coins took floral emblems as its theme to represent the United Kingdom and its four constituent countries. They were designed by Leslie Durbin – one of the most highly-regarded silversmiths of the 20th Century. The Oak Tree is used on this coin to represent England.
The Three Lions £1 coin was issued in 1997 and 2002.
The second series of £1 coin designs used heraldic emblems to represent the United Kingdom and its four constituent countries. This coin features three lions to represent England. The three lions date back to Richard the Lionheart (1189-1199) who used three golden lions on a scarlet background as a powerful symbol of the English throne.

The third series of £1 coin designs depicts bridges from each of the four consituent countries in the United Kingdom. This coin features the Gateshead Millennium Bridge to represent England.

As a football fan, 3 lions of course
I have chosen the ‘Three Lions’ design on the £1 coin, as it reminds me of that memorable day in 1966, when a group of men with the same insignia on their shirts walked away with a ‘World Cup’ !!!
