Comment
The 2021 strike introduced four security features:
- A latent image which changes from a padlock to Britannia’s famous trident
- Surface animation bringing the background of sparkling waves to life
- Micro text gives both decoration and protection – ‘an ornament and a safeguard’
- Britannia’s shield bearing the Union Flag accented with tincture lines
The 2023 strike was issued in the autumn of 2022 after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and was only produced in a limited number.
Interesting fact
