    About the 1954 Halfpenny Elizabeth II (without 'BRITT:OMN', Rev A)

    The 1954 Elizabeth II 1st portrait coin, notable for lacking the inscription 'BRITT:OMN,' represents an important phase in British numismatics as it showcases the early representation of Queen Elizabeth II following her ascension to the throne in 1952. Minted at the Royal Mint located at Tower Hill, this bronze coin features the first portrait of the queen created by engraver Mary Gillick, which is cherished for its simplicity and elegance. This coin serves as a tangible link to the mid-twentieth century and is often sought after by those interested in the evolution of British coinage and royal portraiture.
