The reverse, designed by Bradley Morgan Johnson after winning a Royal Mint design competition, is a clever tribute to Elton's iconic look: a double quaver music note doubles as his trademark sunglasses, paired with the straw boater hat he wore in the video for his 1983 hit \"I'm Still Standing\", set against a Union Jack background with \"ELTON JOHN\" lettering. The design carried Sir Elton's own personal approval before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe obverse carries Jody Clark's fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
