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

Pierwotna waga tych monet wynosiła 1/11 uncji trojańskiej (43,6 g). Zgodnie z ustawą o monetach z 1946 r. skład monety zmienił się z .500 srebra na .750 miedzi / .250 niklu, ale waga pozostała na poziomie 43,6 grama.

Istnieją dwie odmiany matryc dla tego typu - awers 1 z plastikowego zestawu i awers 2 wybity do obiegu:
Obv 1 L na paciorku, I z "LIZ" na prawo od paciorka, drugie A w "GRATIA" na prawo od paciorka, + na prawo od paciorka;
Obv 2 L na prawo od paciorka, I z "LIZ" na lewo od paciorka, 2. A w "GRATIA" na lewo od paciorka, + na lewo od paciorka.
