Queen Elizabeth II will be forever remembered for her exceptional dedication to her country and people. Throughout her 70-year reign, she symbolised stability, continuity, and tradition, guiding her nation through turbulent times. Her unwavering commitment to public service and tireless work on behalf of charities and organisations worldwide have earned her the respect and admiration of people from all walks of life. Her Majesty's legacy will undoubtedly live on, as evidenced by the limited edition Elizabeth II memorial coins.
The Royal Mint has released a new collection of coins to commemorate the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on September 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle. These coins are among the first official UK issued coins to feature a portrait of the new King, Charles III. The range includes the first UK coins to feature the new definitive portrait of King Charles, designed by sculptor Martin Jennings. Following a centuries-old British coinage tradition, King Charles faces right, opposite to his predecessor. On the reverse side, prolific coinage artist John Bergdahl has depicted a graceful portrait of the late Queen, wearing a pearl necklace and surrounded by laurel branches and a rose tied with a ribbon. The legend reads 'ELIZABETH REGINA 1926-2022'.
This remarkable tribute to Queen Elizabeth II is the first of its kind to mark a Platinum Jubilee. The coins are a poignant reminder of her remarkable reign, her unwavering dedication to her country, and her commitment to public service. The coins pay tribute to the longest reigning monarch in British history, who will always be remembered for her remarkable legacy, symbolising stability, continuity, and tradition. The Elizabeth II memorial coins are a fitting tribute to Her Majesty, and they will be treasured by collectors and enthusiasts for generations to come.
