Heads I win, tails you lose

Heads I win, tails you lose
Queen Victoria. Half Penny - 1889. Reign 20 June 1837 – 22 January 1901
Edward VII. One Florin - 1908. Reign 22 January 1901 – 6 May 1910
George VI. One Shilling - 1939. Reign 11 December 1936 – 6 February 1952
Elizbaeth II. Sixpence. 1953, Reign 6 February 1952 – present

Since the time of Charles II, the direction in which the monarch's head faces on coins has changed with every succeeding monarch with the exception that the heads on the coins of successive monarchs George V, Edward VIII, and George VI all face to the left. Edward the VIII's were not formally issued - though some did get into circulation.

The same does not apply to stamps - the monarch always faces left.

Remember what you used to be able to get with 6d when we were kids!! A facebook friend has been putting some old pic's of my home town on there and it showed the two sweet shops that we were so fond of. No signs saying only two children at a time allowed back then!!
