2022 Queen's Platinum Jubilee 1oz Silver Proof
In early 1952, Princess Elizabeth left England on an official tour of the Commonwealth. She was standing in for her father King George VI, who was too ill to travel. On 6 February, while in Kenya, she received a telegram with news of the King’s death and her accession to the throne.
Crowned on 2 June 1953, the Queen’s reign has been nothing short of remarkable. Admired as a symbol of strength and stability and beloved by people around the globe, she became the longest-reigning monarch in British history on 9 September 2015. On 6 February 2022 she became the first British monarch to celebrate 70 years on the throne.
To celebrate this milestone, The Perth Mint have released a 99.99% 1oz silver and 99.99% 1/4oz gold which both portray the Shield of the Royal Coat of Arms featuring three lions passant, a harp, and a lion rampant – ancient heraldic symbols of England, Ireland and Scotland. A figurative flower stem combines stylised representations of an English rose, Irish shamrock and Scottish thistle, together with Australian wattle. A special obverse depicts a fan of wattle overlaid with Her Majesty’s first and current coin effigies.
- 1oz 99.99% Pure Silver
- Encapsulated & Cased
- Mintage 5000
