Jody Clark’s representation of the Royal Arms adorns the reverse of the coin
Jody Clark is a British artist and engraver who is best known for his work with the Royal Mint. He designed the current effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, which appears on British coinage and stamps, and has also created designs for coins and medals for other countries. His representation of the Royal Arms, which appears on the reverse of the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Coin, is a detailed and accurate depiction of the heraldic symbol of the British monarchy. The Royal Arms consists of a shield bearing the emblems of the four countries of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) surrounded by the Garter, a blue ribbon decorated with the motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (meaning "Shame on he who thinks evil of it"). The Royal Arms is supported by a lion and a unicorn and is surmounted by the royal crown. It is a symbol of the authority and sovereignty of the British monarchy and is used on a variety of official documents, buildings, and other government property.
The obverse features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty The King for the first time
The coinage portrait of His Majesty The King refers to the official portrait of King Charles III that appears on British coinage. This portrait was designed by sculptor Martin Jennings and was unveiled in 2022 as part of a new series of coins released by The Royal Mint to commemorate the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. The portrait shows King Charles facing right, following a centuries-old tradition in British coinage in which the new monarch faces the opposite direction of their predecessor. The effigy is surrounded by a legend that reads: 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 2 POUNDS · 2022'. This is the first time that a portrait of King Charles III has appeared on British coinage. The coinage portrait of the King is an important symbol of his role as the head of state of the United Kingdom and is used on a variety of official documents, buildings, and other government property.
