The faces of the Crown
Queen Victoria 2025, 1 ounce silver, picture side
The faces of the Crown go back a long way, as far as Queen Victoria. A portrait in colour, a crown on the reverse.
The faces of the Crown
One face, seven decades
Mary Gillick showed Elizabeth II with a laurel wreath instead of a crown, and Jody Clark chose the diadem of her coronation in 2015: the first and the fifth of her portraits on British coins.
On the first decimal coins of 1968, Arnold Machin replaced the wreath with a diadem, a wedding present from Queen Mary. For the portrait from 1985 onwards, Raphael Maklouf first worked from photographs and was then granted two sittings. From 1998, Ian Rank-Broadley let the portrait fill the field, because the coins had become smaller.
Many commemorative pieces for the Queen come from small issuing countries in the Pacific, such as Niue, Tokelau and the Cook Islands, until 2023 with the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley and his initials IRB.
On British coins the portrait of Charles III is by Martin Jennings; the King approved it himself. The Queen’s British coins remained valid: some 27 billion were in circulation when the first circulating coins with Charles were struck.

Victoria in colour
One ounce of silver from Liberia, partly gilded, with a portrait in colour; on the reverse a crown and “DURCH GOTTES GNADE”.
1536 · Hampton Court
Ten guardians on the bridge
In 1536 Henry VIII had the stone bridge over the moat at Hampton Court completed, built of brick and more than 600 tonnes of stone. On it stood ten heraldic beasts, the King’s Beasts, displaying the King’s ancestry.
In the 17th century the bridge and the beasts vanished into the moat for more than 150 years. When the excavation began in 1909, only fragments of the beasts were found; the figures guarding the entrance today are copies from the 1950s.
2 June 1953 · Westminster
Ten beasts in plaster
For the coronation of Elizabeth II, ten heraldic beasts stood outside the Abbey’s glass-fronted annexe, designed by Eric Bedford: six feet tall, made of plaster, the work of James Woodford. His model was the King’s Beasts of Hampton Court.
The ten beasts chosen were those that best showed the Queen’s ancestry, from the Lion of England and the Griffin of Edward III to the Unicorn of Scotland and the White Horse of Hanover.
Copies in Portland stone stand guard at Kew outside the Palm House, a gift in 1956; the plaster figures have belonged to Canada since 1959.
The Sovereign
A gold coin travels the world
Henry VII gave the name Sovereign to a new gold coin in 1489. In the 19th century the Sovereign was called the “chief coin of the world”, accepted even in Brazil.
The Royal Mint also struck it at branch mints, from Sydney from 1855 to Pretoria from 1923, almost 500 million pieces in all. Today the Australian Sovereign of the Perth Mint shows a new St George, drawn by Jennifer McKenna.
