Description
The reverse design of the six coins (1 penny, 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, and 50 pence) features a segment of the Royal Shield of Arms, which, when placed in the correct order, creates the full shield. The one-pound coin, on the other hand, has the complete shield of arms on its reverse.
The 2015 set was created to commemorate a change in the portrait.
In 2022, a special memorial coin set was released to mark the end of Queen Elizabeth II's 70-year reign and the start of a new era in the British monarchy. Each of the definitive coins bears a unique privy mark (26/22) on the obverse, which shows the Queen's birth year and the year of her passing.
