Mary Gillick

1881 - Jan 27, 1965

Mary Gaskell Gillick OBE was a sculptor best known for her effigy of Elizabeth II used on coinage in the United Kingdom and elsewhere from 1953 to 1970.
Born Mary Tutin in Nottingham, she was educated at the Nottingham School of Art and at the Royal College of Art, where she studied under the sculptor Édouard Lantéri. After making her first exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1911, she designed several medals to be used as awards, and several other, larger relief sculptures in stone and bronze.
Mary Gillick was married to another noteworthy sculptor, Ernest Gillick, who is believed to have influenced her work.
She was appointed OBE in the 1953 Coronation Honours.
