| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the 50th anniversary of Decimal Day, 15 February 1971, when the United Kingdom adopted its decimalized currency. The central field features the legend DECIMAL DAY flanked by the years 1971 and the designer's initials DME, surrounded by an arrangement of pre-decimal British coinage including crowns, florins, shillings, and pennies. A classical portrait of Britannia and a wren, the bird that appeared on the pre-decimal farthing, are also incorporated into the design, symbolizing the transition from the old currency to the new. The composition is a detailed and evocative tribute to a landmark moment in British monetary history. |
