The 1944 UK penny obverse features the
bare head of King George VI facing left,
with the surrounding legend:
‘GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX
F:D:IND:IMP.’
The reverse shows Britannia seated facing right,
wearing a helmet, holding a trident, hand resting
on a shield, with the words ‘ONE PENNY’ in the
fields, and date below. A lighthouse is in the background to the left of Britannia.
