Portraits of a Queen: Arnold Machin
Second portrait designed by Arnold Machin. With decimalization fast approaching, many thought that a new coinage portrait of The Queen would help aid the public in distinguishing the new coins from the old. Machin was clear that he wished to “… produce a design with charm and dignity and yet without sentimentality…” The Queen sat for Machin four times, making sketches, and then modelling in clay, and The Duke of Edinburgh was closely involved in the process.
