Image from random google search, if you like it I could knock together an original piece. Maybe basing it on a pound coin as the compass base? I'll wait on your feed back.
I believe that the image of legal tender is exempt from copyright , although the photographs may not be. For example, you may use an image of legal tender, provided you are the owner of the actual image, and are not attempting to counterfeit the currency (creating a false instrument under the Theft Act 1978)
I've used many rights-managed images which included legal tender before in advertising entirely legally. That said, I will check with the Royal Mint on Monday.
"The flat form reproduction of a coin for use in advertisements or other promotional literature is normally permissible, providing the coin is reproduced in a faithful likeness and shown in good taste. The Royal Mint does not presume to be the arbiters of good taste, but relies on the good sense of the advertisers themselves. The stipulation that coins should be reproduced in a faithful likeness is made to prevent part of the coinage design being used out of context. However, showing part or a segment of a coin will usually be acceptable, providing the image is used in good taste and is clearly recognisable as depicting part of a coin."

The compas image does not belong to me. Just another example.

This is really difficult.
Where did you pick up the compass image?

I think we have a WINNAR!
I may have to twiddle the text for the sub-heading slightly to link the compass with '12 steps', but otherwise, I think we're there.
Thankyou so much!
