New portrait
of the Queen is set to appear on British coins has been released by the Royal
Mint. During an unveiling at the National Portrait Gallery in London on Monday
morning, the first golden images of Her Majesty's portrait were proudly put on
display.
With a hint of a smile shown in the new portrait, the design reflects the warm, much-loved Queen we see today. The image also maintains more traditional features, and is a nod to coins that have been produced in the past.

Artist Jody
Clark, who designed the portrait, decided to portray the Queen wearing the
glittering crown she donned for her 1953 Coronation, marking a "real nod
to the past".
