Forty Years Of The Twenty-Pence Coin
2022 marked forty years since the 20p coin was first released into circulation. The unusual equilateral curve heptagon-shaped coin, worth 1/5 of a Pound, was introduced in 1982 and has become an icon of British coinage design.
What Coins Are In The 2022 20p Effigies Set?
This set contains four Twenty Pence coins, showcasing the different portraits of Queen Elizabeth II that have appeared on the 20p over the years. These include royal effigies by Arnold Machin, Raphael Maklouf, Ian Rank-Broadley, and Jody Clark. The earlier coins feature the classic Tudor rose reverse by William Gardner, while the more recent coins show the interconnected shield design by Matthew Dent.
