<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SyC, post: 1000914, member: 27336&quot;]I have 2 coins, both very similar. One is 1984, the other is 1974. They Both Feature Elizabeth II on the Obverse and some sort of picture with a crown and chains on the reverse. These are identical (other than very small differences on Elizabeth II) except that one is labeled &quot;ONE PENNY&quot; and the other &quot;NEW PENNY.&quot; Does anybody know the history on that? Obviously sometime between 1974 and 1984, they changed the name of the penny. But I&#039;m curious why. I can&#039;t find it anywhere. Wikipedia just says that they switched from &quot;NEW&quot; to &quot;ONE&quot; in &#039;81. Just curious if anybody knows <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
