| Additional information |
The "modified reverse" designation on this type refers to a subtle but catalogued alteration to the shield design introduced around 2011, distinguishing it from the otherwise visually similar issues that preceded it — the kind of change that matters primarily to variety collectors and auction catalogers rather than the general market. The BP privy mark identifies Metalor Technologies (formerly the Birmingham assay operation) as the refiner of the gold blanks supplied to the Royal Mint during this production window.
