Dating back to about 1797, the predecimal British Penny had the iconic figure of Britannia, in one for or another, on the reverse.
Since the introduction of the decimal British Penny until 2008, the reverse has had a crowned portcullis (gate) on the reverse.
From 2008, all British Coins had a new design for the reverse and when all of the "Pence" coins are suitably arranged, combined they show the "Royal Shield". The current Penny shows part of the shield indicating part of the England and Northern Ireland shields.
