The Kruger Gray design continued into this type, while after the coronation of Elizabeth II in late 1952, the design changed to the bust of Elizabeth II facing to the right with the legend, 'ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA', ('Elizabeth II, by the grace of god, queen'), designed by Mary Gillick. This legend was only used in 1953 and 1954, then was altered due to public outcry of the omission of 'FIDEI DEF' ('defender of the faith').
Both years are easy to acquire with some mint rolls found of 1953 (Pacific Rim Coins, 2002) though are often have brown toning due to the paper used in rolling. The 1954 is much scarcer than most realize and is very difficult to source in mint state grades
Both issues were struck from the Melbourne mint and no mintmarks were used.
