This is the 1956 Circulation issue with a mintage of 33,934,900. The Elizabeth II 1st portrait 1954 coin, with a denomination of £0.13, holds a noteworthy place in British numismatic history as it features the first portrait of Queen Elizabeth II without the inscription 'BRITT:OMN', which was a significant design choice reflecting a transitional period in British coinage. Struck at the Royal Mint in Tower Hill, this coin saw a remarkable mintage of 278,586,000, making it relatively common in circulation, thus earning a rarity score of 1 out of 10. Composed of copper-nickel, with a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel, it showcases the traditional craftsmanship of the time. While its high mintage diminishes its rarity, the coin is still cherished by collectors for its representation of post-war Britain and the early years of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, making it a staple in many numismatic collections.
