During a record-breaking reign that spanned more than seven decades, Elizabeth II established herself as one of the most memorable monarchs in British history. Five definitive portraits of the queen appeared on the coins throughout that period.
Portraits of a Queen Collection, produced by British Royal Mint, takes a closer look at each of these effigies and the stories behind their creation. For the reverse of each coin in the collection, these original portraits have been superbly remastered by Royal Mint Chief Engraver Gordon Summers for this unique commemorative type. Uniting the Queen with her son & successor on an official British legal tender coin, Martin Jennings’ official portrait of King Charles III is found upon the obverse.
Set within an informative, illustrated Royal Mint packaging exploring the story behind their creation's masterwork, these affordable releases are a must-have for those with a passion for Australia’s currency history.
