Legacy of Arnold Machin

Arnold Machin, born in 1911, was a renowned British sculptor who made a lasting impact. He is famous for creating the enduring design of Queen Elizabeth II's second portrait, which was used on British postage stamps and coins from 1968 to 1984.

Second Coinage Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II

Designed by artist, Arnold Machin, the Second Definitive UK Coin Portrait exudes elegance. This new portrait was released with the introduction of the new five and ten pence decimalisation coins in 1968. This bust displays the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara; this tiara had been a wedding gift to the Queen from her grandmother Queen Mary in 1947. The Queen's hair is loosely waved and fabric is draped around her shoulders. This portrait was used on coins until 1984. 

Obverse

The obverse shows the second coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin. 

Reverse

The reverse design is by Benedetto Pistrucci. It shows St. George slaying the dragon. This has been used on Sovereigns since 1817.
