Are it the initials of the coin designer of that side of the coin I know the Britannia side is designed by Nathan but not who did the queen effigy since I seem to find three or four designers for the queen's side of the coin Report this Post to the Staff

Looking more carefully at your picture, the coin in question is the 3rd effigy, which would have RDM. Report this Post to the Staff
