Percy Metcalfe, CVO, RDI, was an English artist sculptor and designer. He is recognised mostly for his coin designs and his contribution to the Ashtead Pottery Collection.

A technical grade of Good combined with pleasing eye appeal is strong for the grade. In this case, the mintage for the 1921 penny was around 129 million – 129,717,693 to be exact – which is an exceptionally large amount. The coin did enter circulation, however, which means that the likelihood of encountering a highly graded version is significantly lower.

In 1922 a rare variety is 'Reverse of 1927' which has three noticeable features where (1927 type on right of image) the teeth on reverse are longer, the thumb on the shield is shorter, and the shield is further away from the edge so creating a longer horizon.
