Really, Welsh is the fleur de lys? Didn't know that!

We have that covered in Canada then -- the fleur de lys is the Quebec (originally, French Canada) symbol as well. ;)

The Shilling

The issues of George VI and Elizabeth II are unusual in that two different designs were issued each year (except 1952), an English and a Scottish version. They were not distributed solely in the relevant countries, but circulated equally alongside each other.

The English shilling of George VI has the lion standing left on a large crown, while on the Scottish shilling the lion is facing, holding a sword & sceptre flanked by St Andrews Cross and a thistle.

The metal used changed to cupronickel in 1947.

A design change took place in 1949 with the removal of the words IND IMP on India becoming an independant republic.

Because of the high demand for nickel in the Korean War no 1952 shillings were issued, although extremely rare Proofs of the English version do exist.
