Designs of Christopher Ironside (1913–1992)

Best known designing Britain coinage after decimalisation in the late 70s Christopher Ironside created numerous coin designs that were both practical and beautiful to look at. A common theme in many of his designs is the usage of animals and plant life which may be a reflection on his background as a painter. Over the course of his lifetime he produced design for no less than 14 different territories and countries with the majority being former British colonies.

Timeline of British Pre-decimal Coins

Using the minting dates for each pre-decimal coin I was able to create this timeline which shows how long each coin was in production. This chart doesn't include English coins that were solely minted prior to the 1707 unification of Britain.
