There are coins you own – and there are those you dream of. This magnificent 5-ounce striking in the finest silver undoubtedly belongs to the second category. With a mintage of only 50 pieces, this is a true rarity that leaves even seasoned connoisseurs in raptures. Anyone seeking a collector's coin with genuine scarcity holds in their hands a gem that is unlikely to be found again in this form.

The "Unseen Portraits" – an artistic secret is revealed

The design tells a special story. On the reverse, no fewer than eight portraits of the late Queen Elizabeth II are arranged around a central royal monogram "EIIR", crowned by the royal crown and authenticated by the engraved signature of the artist Raphael Maklouf. The inscription reveals the programme: "THE RDM MASTERPIECES – THE UNSEEN EFFIGIES". These are previously unpublished designs – rejected, forgotten, slumbering studies that now see the light of day for the very first time.

A numismatic legacy: Eight faces of a monarch who shaped a century – united on a single, gleaming silver surface.

The obverse features the distinctive portrait of King Charles III with the inscription "CHARLES III · D·G· REX· F·D· GIBRALTAR · 2026" and the face value TEN POUNDS. The discreet privy mark QEII100 also commemorates the 100th birthday of the unforgettable Queen. A fine detail can be found on the edge: the edge inscription bearing the date 21st April 2026 – the day on which Elizabeth II would have celebrated her hundredth birthday.

Why this coin is worthwhile for collectors

In the world of numismatics, a simple rule applies: what is rare becomes coveted. With only 50 pieces worldwide, an exceptionally low mintage meets an undiminished high demand for everything associated with Queen Elizabeth II. This combination gives the coin a remarkable appreciation potential. Anyone who looks at comparable large silver coins with small mintages will quickly recognise: such pieces typically disappear swiftly into established collections and rarely resurface on the market.

Whether as the centrepiece of your display cabinet, as the crowning glory of a thematic collection centred on the British royal family, or as a rare collector's coin with character – this 5-ounce coin combines artistic depth, precious metal intrinsic value, and absolute exclusivity. Act now, while this masterpiece is still available.
