Other features that have also stayed are the edging and profiles to aid people with visual difficulty and blindness. The £2.00 coin has'nt changed much.

He designed a set of clever cut-aways of the Shield of the Royal Arms. Each denomination is a part of this shield and when brought together, the shield looks complete. […] Completing the new range of coins is the £1 coin featuring the shield of the Royal Arms in its entirety, uniting the six fragmented elements into one design.

You could still add the number without ruining the design, as with most competition winners the design gets changed before production.

Although there are no numbers, these can be printed/ stamped on the back of the coin, can they not? And secondly the design is beautiful, and even if tourists can't understand it, they can understand that concept of this beauty XD ..
