The English do not produce a coin known as a "quarter". Perhaps you refer to a British "Shilling" being approximately the same diameter as a US "Quarter". The 1958 British Shilling comes in two varieties. Both feature Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse, the difference is on the reverse. The "English" reverse shows a crowned shield with three lions.
