1d - Mostly manage to retain British monarch's head here

o?B?R?E

think its OBVERSE but don'see why - help parsing would be appreciated

The Queen's head is on the Observe of coins! It's Overse(e), manage, with the B for Britain.

Overse(e) + B

Hi,
Don't quite understand - overse(e) = manage cut short, yes, + b for British, yes,

but where is it indicated that there is an anag of 'overse'?

Or am i missing something?

Thanks both Malone and Scorpiojo

Hi again, could someone kindly reply to my post No 4 ? I really would like to understand.

The word "retain" in the clue means to keep so OVERSE keeps B. It is not an anagram!

OK, thanks Brackendale.
