The harp that is displayed on the reverse of the Irish coins today is a design based on the Trinity College harp which was sculpted by Percy Metcalfe, and has been part of the Irish coin since the Irish Free State in 1923. This symbol has also been the official badge on seals of state.

His only design for Australia was the reverse side of the Australian florin in 1935, which depicted an image of George V. This design was also used on coinage in Fiji and New Zealand.

To commemorate the extraordinary visit that George VI and Queen Elizabeth set out on to North America in 1939, three series of medallions were designed for the Royal Canadian Mint. The reverse side of the coins contained a joint profile of George VI and Queen Elizabeth, which was designed by Percy Metcalfe. This design was also used on the British Coronation Medal of 1937.

Percy Metcalfe created a British Jubilee crown piece, which was exhibited in the Leeds College of Art in November of 1946.

As a result of the war from 1914-18, the price of silver grew dramatically, until in 1920 the coins were worth more than the actual silver. Therefore a degrade silver coinage was issued containing only fifty per cent silver. in 1935, it was George V's jubilee, and to celebrate the occasion, a crown piece containing a new design was issued. The reverse side of the coin depicts an image of St George on a horse, rearing over a dragon. Due to its modernistic design by Metcalfe it has earned little credit from collectors
