    About the 1954 Sixpence Elizabeth II (without 'BRITT:OMN')

    Struck at the Royal Mint in Tower Hill, this coin is characterised by the first portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed by Mary Gillick. The absence of the 'BRITT:OMN' inscription on this version marks it as a unique variant among the series. Made of copper-nickel with a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel, this coin reflects the post-war era's efforts to modernise British currency.
