One Penny 2024, Coin from United Kingdom

Coin	One Penny 2024

The one penny coin is currently the lowest circulating denomination of the British (decimal) Pound Sterling, after the half penny was demonetised in 1984. 1 penny equals 1/100th of a pound.

This 1p coin design replaced the earlier 1p design by Matthew Dent, which had been in circulation since 2008. The reverse depicts a hazel dormouse, and is part of the nature-inspired recoinage introduced to mark the reign of King Charles III, reflecting his interest in conservation and nature.

One penny and two pence coins are legal tender only up to the sum of 20p; this means that it is permissible to refuse payment of sums greater than this amount in 1p and 2p coins in order to settle a debt.

1p coins issued in 2024 have now been circulating for less than one year.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin displays the first definitive portrait of King Charles III, which shows his bare (uncrowned) head facing left.

Below the neck truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials MJ (for Martin Jennings).

Around, the monarch's legend and the date of issue: CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF · 2024 ·. Translated from Latin, the legend means: Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

Obverse Inscription	CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF · 2024 ·

Reverse

In the right-hand part of the coin, the design depicts a curled hazel dormouse sleeping between two tree leaves.

On the left, on two lines the value and denomination, 1 PENNY.

The background on the left has a pattern of repeating three interlocking letters C, a feature which takes its inspiration from history and the cypher of King Charles II (C for Charles, CC for Charles the Second, CCC for Charles III), and small diamonds.

Reverse Inscription	1 PENNY

Edge	Plain	Edge Inscription	None
