| Beschrijving voorzijde | The second decimal effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as modelled by Arnold Machin, depicted in right-facing truncated bust with the hair elegantly swept up and adorned with a diadem. The portrait is rendered with fine sculptural detail characteristic of the Machin series, set against a deeply mirrored proof field. The circular legend reads ELIZABETH II to the right and D G REG F D with the date 1983 to the left, all separated by raised dots. The design is bordered by a continuous inner ring of raised beads. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Piedforts have no circulation function — they exist purely as collector artifacts, struck at double the standard planchet thickness using the same dies as the ordinary issue. The Royal Mint revived the piedfort tradition for British coinage in 1982 after a gap of several centuries, making this 1983 piece only the second modern British piedfort produced. Original mintage was capped at 10,000.
