Notes:
The initials PL refer to the Latin term Pecunia Londinii which translates as Money of London. Also acceptable, and possibly more accurate, is the alternate Latin phrase Percussa Londinio which translates as Struck at London.A limited issue proof version of the 1951 PL penny was released as part of a 4 coin proof set.
