According to report obtain from Bang Showbiz, A new coinage portrait of Britain's Queen Elizabeth has been unveiled. The updated image of the 88-year-old monarch - only the fifth new monetary picture in her 63-year reign - shows her in side profile wearing a crown and drop earrings and will appear in circulation later this year.
Engraver Jody Clark designed the image, which was selected in a competition organised by the Royal Mint Advisory Committee, a consultative panel to HM Treasury.
He said: ''Winning the competition has been an overwhelming experience - I hope she likes it.
I wanted to make her look less stern to give her a slightly warmer expression. I hope she thinks it is a fitting and accurate representation.''
