| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bareheaded and draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, modelled by Mary Gillick, with the queen's hair elegantly dressed and adorned with a laurel sprig. The effigy displays fine portraiture characteristic of Gillick's first definitive portrait of the young queen. The circular legend reads QUEEN·ELIZABETH·THE·SECOND, separated by a cross patée, running around the periphery within a beaded border. The engraver's initials M·G· appear discreetly on the truncation of the bust. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The threepenny bit had been dodging obsolescence for decades before this series was struck — the coin's unusual twelve-sided form, introduced in 1937 to replace the tiny silver threepence, was specifically designed so that the blind and elderly could distinguish it by touch alone. By 1953 it had become an institution, best known to most of the population as the coin baked into Christmas puddings.
Production ceased in 1967 when decimalization planning made the denomination redundant. The 1953 issue is the rarest date in this run, struck in limited numbers during the coronation year before full production resumed.
