Description

Struck in 1971, this bronze 1 New Penny coin was introduced as part of the United Kingdom’s decimalization of currency. Weighing approximately 3.56 grams and produced using milled techniques, it reflects the shift to a modern monetary system.

The obverse features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, designed by Arnold Machin, with the surrounding legend denoting her royal titles.

The reverse depicts a crowned portcullis with chains, an emblem associated with the Palace of Westminster, along with the denomination “1 NEW PENNY,” symbolizing the newly adopted decimal system.

This coin holds strong appeal for collectors of British and world coinage, particularly those interested in transitional issues, offering both historical importance and classic British iconography.
