Australian Elizabeth II One Penny

Ranked #16,144 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #255,085 overall

Elizabeth II One Penny 1953 - 1954

The Kangaroo design continued into this type, while after the coronation of Elizabeth II in late 1952, the design changed to the bust of Elizabeth II facing to the right with the legend, 'ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA', ('Elizabeth II, by the grace of god, queen'), designed by Mary Gillick. This legend was only used in 1953, then was altered due to public outcry of the omission of 'FIDEI DEF' ('defender of the faith').

Elizabeth II One Penny 1955 - 1964

The Kangaroo design continued into this type right until the introduction of decimal currency with the conclusion of the penny series in 1964. This type features a slightly reworded obverse legend, 'ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F:D', ('Elizabeth II, by the grace of god, queen, defender of the faith'), after public outcry that the previous type omitted 'FIDEI DEF' ('defender of the faith').
