This commemorative £5 Crown-sized coin celebrates the Platinum Jubilee (70th anniversary) of Queen Elizabeth II's reign. It has the reverse design of the £5 Platinum Jubilee coin included in the annual mint sets.
On the throne since 6 February 1952, at the date when the coin was issued Queen Elizabeth II was the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, the longest-serving female head of state in history, the oldest living and longest-reigning current monarch, and the oldest and longest-serving incumbent head of state.
The obverse of the coin shows the equestrian effigy (riding a horse, to left) of young Queen Elizabeth II at her coronation; her head is turned left, facing the viewer. Below right, the initials of the obverse designer, JB (for John Bergdahl).
The effigy is surrounded by the Garter of The Most Noble Order of the Garter, on which is inscribed the royal motto · HONI · SOIT · QUI MAL · Y · PENSE · - in old French, "May he be shamed who thinks badly of it".
Around the outer rim, the monarch's legend and the face value: ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 5 POUNDS (Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith). Below, the date of issue · 2022 ·.
The reverse: At its centre, the reverse of the coin displays the draped Shield of the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom - quartered, depicting in the first and fourth quarters the three passant guardant lions of England; in the second, the rampant lion and double tressure flory-counterflory of Scotland; and in the third, a harp for Ireland. The drapery is inspired by the royal mantle, or robe, worn by Her Majesty at her coronation in 1953.
The shield is surrounded by the Garter of the Royal Order of the Garter, inscribed with the royal motto HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE ·(translated from Old French: May he be shamed who thinks badly of it), and is crowned with St Edward's Crown.
In the right field, the designer's initials JB, for John Bergdahl.
