Comments

Dom Windsorów (od 1917 do dziś), Elżbieta II (1952-2022), emisje przeddziesiętne (1953-70).

Standardowa waga tych monet wynosiła 4/11 uncji trojańskiej (174,5 grama). Zgodnie z ustawą o monetach z 1946 r. skład monety zmienił się z .500 srebra na .750 miedzi / .250 niklu, ale waga pozostała niezmieniona.

Istnieją dwie odmiany matryc dla tego typu - awers 1 z plastikowego zestawu i awers 2 wybity do obiegu:
Awers 1 I z ELIZ między paciorkami, niewyraźna sylwetka, I z DEI na paciorku, B z BRITT między paciorkami;
Obv 2 I z ELIZ na paciorku, ostrzejsza sylwetka, I z DEI między paciorkami, B z BRITT na paciorku;

Powyższe zdjęcie zostało zamieszczone za uprzejmą zgodą Declana Magee i członka Numista Sjoelunda.

Wydano specjalny zestaw menniczy zawierający monety o nominałach od 2s. 6d. do 1/4d. w przezroczystych kopertach (wyemitowano 1 288 000 sztuk).
