Made to Serve

As Her Majesty The Queen becomes the first British monarch to reach a Platinum Jubilee, the nation is celebrating this latest milestone in Her Majesty’s record-breaking reign. As the original maker of UK coins, The Royal Mint has struck every UK coin of The Queen’s reign and we are marking this once-in-a-lifetime moment with one of our largest coin collections to date.

John Bergdahl has created a commemorative Platinum Jubilee portrait depicting Her Majesty on horseback and two beautifully decorative reverse designs for the occasion. The collection also includes the first UK 50p coin issued by The Royal Mint to celebrate a royal event, which features a bold, graphical celebration of The Queen’s reign by the design agency Osborne Ross on the reverse. The obverse features the Platinum Jubilee portrait.

Created in collaboration with the royal historian and author Professor Kate Williams, each edition comes with packaging exploring particular elements of Her Majesty’s remarkable life and reign.

The collection also includes historic coin sets and a limited number of Celebration Sovereigns struck on 6 February 2022. In a rare departure from the St George and the dragon design, these Sovereigns will bear a Royal Arms design by the heraldic artist Timothy Noad.
