💎 ABOUT THE COIN
Obverse: On the obverse of this cherished coin, you’ll find the majestic fourth crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, gracefully facing right. Adorned with the exquisite Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, her image radiates the royal dignity she embodied throughout her reign. Encircling this striking portrayal is the inscription “ELIZABETH·II·D·G REG·F·D·2001,” standing for “Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina Fidei Defensatrix,” which translates to “Elizabeth II by the Grace of God Queen Defender of the Faith.” This powerful declaration not only highlights her esteemed role as the sovereign but also reaffirms her commitment to the Church of England. The artistry of engraver Ian Rank-Broadley brings her essence to life, skillfully capturing the grace and strength of an era defined by her leadership.
Reverse: Turning to the reverse side, the coin reveals a crowned portcullis adorned with chains, a thoughtful adaptation of the Badge of Henry VII, symbolizing the heart of British governance-the Parliament and the iconic Palace of Westminster. This beautiful design encompasses the historical weight of the institution it represents, reminding us of the enduring values and principles upon which the nation stands. Surrounding this powerful imagery are the words “ONE PENNY” and the numeral “1,” clearly affirming its value. Crafted by engraver Christopher Ironside, this side showcases the intricate artistry that goes into each coin, inviting all who hold it to appreciate the legacy and spirit of British culture and tradition.
