The obverse relief is that of Ian Rank-Broadley’s striking likeness of Her Majesty Elizabeth II and is framed by the coin’s weight and purity, face value and year of issue. The coin’s overall design, which is clean lined and startlingly beautiful, is only part of the reason that this series and its predecessor enjoy such widespread popularity.
