Elizabeth II 1952 - Present AD
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, born 21 April 1926) is the queen regnant and head of state of 16 independent sovereign states known as the Commonwealth realms : the United Kingdom , Canada, Australia , New Zealand , Jamaica , Barbados , the Bahamas , Grenada , Papua New Guinea , the Solomon Islands , Tuvalu , Saint Lucia , Saint Vincent and the Grenadines , Belize , Antigua and Barbuda , and Saint Kitts and Nevis . In addition, as Head of the Commonwealth , she is the figurehead of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations and, as the British monarch , she is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England .
In 1953 a new design was issued with the portrait of Elizabeth II, the reverse having a crowned shield flanked by E and R. As with other denominations, the obverse inscription changed after 1953. Coins dated 1954, 1958 and 1959 are very difficult to find in uncirculated condition, as at that time collecting by date was less prevalent than it is today.
The coin was finally demonetized on 1st January 1970 in preparation for decimalisation the following year. Proof coins dated 1970 were never legal tender.
