An impressive double-thick Piedfort striking from this final issue in the Queen's Reign collection which celebrates Her Late Majesty The Queen's dedication to the people of the Commonwealth. These are also the first British coins to feature The Queen's signature in a detail that unites all three reverse designs of the series. The flag-themed reverse design by P. J. Lynch represents the Commonwealth nations and features an inscription that reads HER COMMONWEALTH OF NATIONS.
