ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FIDEI DEFENSATRIX means Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen and Defender of the Faith.

Engraver: Jody Clark

Depicts a finely recreated effigy of King Edward VII as he appeared on the coins of the Edwardian era, showing the King without a laurel wreath or crown as was the custom. The portrait, created by the engraver George William De Saulles, was referred to as the “bare head” and portrayed Edward VII intricately detailed and facing to the right. Due to great advancements in minting processes and the use of large-scale models in the designing process enabled the hand of the sculptor, rather than the engraver, to create stylised naturalistic portraits. DeSaulles’ portrait of the King is faithfully remastered using the most advanced technology resulting in a detailed, replicated effigy and overall obverse design.
