George Kruger Gray designed the reverses of most of the post 1936 pre-decimal silver coins with the exception of the 1951 and 1954 commemorative florins. The fact that the RAM didn't credit whoever laid out the reverses of the decimal coins that made use of the Gray/Blakemore designs suggests they didn't consider it much more than a simple graphic design exercise. They did the same thing with the 2012 wheatsheaf dollar coin, and Gray's initials appeared on that. The 2011 Ramshead dollar also used a Gray design but that bore no initials. The 2008 COA dollar used Blakemore's design and I can't see initials on that either.
