The old pre-decimal British Pennies all had a variation of a seated Britannia with trident and shield on the reverse along with the year and the words "ONE PENNY".
The decimal British Pennies from 1971 to 2008 have a Crowned Portcullis (gate) with chains and a "1" below and the words "NEW PENNY" or "ONE PENNY" across the top.
