Assuming you meant 'Penny Black' - the first postage stamp... Queen Victoria.
Queen Mary the first brought England back to its original religion.
She may have been thinking back to 1992, her "ANNUS HORRIBILIS".
The British "NEW PENNY" was first issued in 1971 and featured Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse with a crowned portcullis on the reverse and was 20.32 mm in diameter. The 1871 Penny featured Queen Victoria on the obverse with Britannia on the reverse and was 30.81 mm in diameter.
It depends on which queen you are talking about. If you are talking about Queen's Susan and Lucy, they go back and forth between Narnia and England.
The Queen is head of the Church of England. This dates back to Henry the eighth when he broke away from the Catholic church and proclaimed himself as head of the Church of England.
Since 1953, the person on the coin is Queen Elizabeth II. The design on the back are two maple leaves.
no idea never heaed of the thing
By "the" penny, I'm assuming that you mean a penny that has been treated with zinc and sodium hydroxide, and then heated over a flame. To remove the brass plating, you can create friction on the surface of the coin that wears it away, reverting it back to its original copper color.
If the back of the penny is just blank, this penny can be worth a fortune. Have the penny appraised at a coin dealer.
Have another look. Queen Victoria died in 1901 and there was no 1956 British penny minted.
If you refer to British coins, Queen Elizabeth II is the current head of state of England and appears on the front of all British coins.
Well, I think there are 22 steps on the back of a penny.
