Queen Elizabeth II Tribute 1926SA & 2022 Gold Sovereign Pair

Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022

Born in April 1926, Queen Elizabeth II guided Great Britain and the Commonwealth from post-WWII reconstruction to the new Millennium and beyond – a beacon of stability in a world of seemingly constant change.

Thrust upon the throne aged 25, Elizabeth II ruled for more than 70 years, becoming Britain’s longest-reigning monarch and the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. The only British monarch most of us have ever known, she was a woman defined by humility, loyalty, dignity, strength in adversity, and an unwavering commitment to her people. Passing away on the 8th of September 2022, Elizabeth II will be remembered as a woman who devoted her life to the service of Great Britain and the Commonwealth.
