Description
The Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II is being celebrated in 2022 in the Commonwealth to mark the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II on 6 February 1952.
Featuring reverse designs by the Irish artist and illustrator Patrick James (P. J.) Lynch, the coins in this limited collection of three UK coins honours The Queen’s contribution to society and the common good. Each of the artist’s designs features The Queen’s iconic signature as a symbol of her personal commitment to the people of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. They are the first UK coins ever to include the Queen’s signature.
The first coin in the collection focuses on Her Majesty’s awards and honours, which is a system that recognises individual service in many forms. The second coin highlights Her Majesty’s work with charities and as a patron, whilst the third and final coin celebrates the Commonwealth, a ‘family of nations’ she has championed throughout her reign.
