Whereas under section 3(1)(b) and (h) of the Coinage Act 1971 We have power, with the advice of Our Privy Council, by Proclamation to determine the design of coins to be made at Our Mint, and to alter any Proclamation previously made under the said section:

And Whereas by Our Proclamation dated the twenty-seventh day of June 2018 We determined, among other matters, a new edge configuration on coins of the denomination of five pounds in cupro-nickel:

And Whereas it appears to Us desirable to determine a new edge configuration for the said cupro-nickel coins:

We, therefore, in pursuance of the said section 3(1)(b) and (h) and of all other powers enabling Us in that behalf, do hereby, by and with the advice of Our Privy Council, proclaim, direct and ordain as follows:

1. In paragraph 8(5) of Our said Proclamation of the twenty-seventh day of June 2018, for ‘the coin shall have a grained edge and in incuse letters the inscription “WORKSHOP OF THE WORLD”’, there shall be substituted ‘the coin shall have a grained edge’.

2. This Proclamation shall come into force on the thirteenth day of February Two thousand and twenty.

Given at Our Court at Buckingham Palace, this twelfth day of February in the year of Our Lord Two thousand and twenty and in the sixty-ninth year of Our Reign.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
