New Features!
The reverse features the majestic figure of Britannia. She wears a toga and carries a large shield, standing proudly while she wields a trident in her outstretched arm. These items represent strength and integrity, symbolic of the United Kingdom’s values. The four new security “elements” will make counterfeiting even more difficult.
The first element is an updated background wave design, which captures the light on the coin’s surface. The second security addition is the inclusion of smooth lines on Britannia’s shield.
The third is a holographic image of a padlock in the bottom left, which transitions to a trident when you tip the coin. Lastly, the minuscule Latin expression “Decus Et Tutamen” ('An ornament and a safeguard') is inscribed along the inner rim of the coin.
Legacy
In 2007, Queen Elizabeth II surpassed her great-grandmother Queen Victoria in becoming the longest-lived British Monarch.
Subsequently, in September 2015, Queen Elizabeth cemented her legacy as the longest-reigning British monarch and longest-reigning female head of state in the world. That year also saw the redesign of her effigy by artist Jody Clark, who won a ‘closed competition’ held by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee (RMAC).
Clark’s depiction shows an aging Elizabeth II wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem crown from her coronation, thus beautifully linking the present with the past.
