On 8 September 2022, Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away peacefully at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. For more than seven decades, Her Majesty upheld a promise she made in which she pledged her heart and devotion to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
Marking the historic succession from one monarch to another, the coins in the Memorial Coin Collection honouring Queen Elizabeth II are the first to feature King Charles III’s official coinage portrait designed by acclaimed sculptor Martin Jennings.
The obverse of the coin displays the first definitive portrait of King Charles III, which shows his bare (uncrowned) head facing left.
Below the neck truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials MJ (for Martin Jennings).
The reverse of the coin features two crowned portraits of Queen Elizabeth II; in a diamond shape on the left, facing half right, the Queen is shown as she was at the time of her accession to the throne in 1952; in a diamond shape on the right, facing half left, the Queen is portrayed in her mature years.
Above the portraits, the Crown of Saint Edward; named after Saint Edward the Confessor, one of the last Anglo-Saxon kings of England (1042 - 1066), it has been traditionally used to crown English and British monarchs - including Queen Elizabeth II - at their coronations since the 13th century (with a two-century gap between 1689 and 1911).
Below the portraits, the Queen's cypher E II R; abbreviated from Elizabeth II Regina, it means "Elizabeth the Second, Queen" in Latin.
Around above, the inscription ELIZABETH REGINA (Queen Elizabeth); around below, the years of her life: 1926 - 2022.
