The faces of the Crown
Elizabeth II 2022, 1 ounce gold, picture side
British coins carried five portraits of Elizabeth II, from Mary Gillick to Jody Clark. The legend reads “1952 ACCESSION”, with a diamond set below.
The faces of the Crown
One face, seven decades
Mary Gillick showed Elizabeth II with a laurel wreath instead of a crown, and Jody Clark chose the diadem of her coronation in 2015: the first and the fifth of her portraits on British coins.
On the first decimal coins of 1968, Arnold Machin replaced the wreath with a diadem, a wedding present from Queen Mary. For the portrait from 1985 onwards, Raphael Maklouf first worked from photographs and was then granted two sittings. From 1998, Ian Rank-Broadley let the portrait fill the field, because the coins had become smaller.
Many commemorative pieces for the Queen come from small issuing countries in the Pacific, such as Niue, Tokelau and the Cook Islands, until 2023 with the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley and his initials IRB.
On British coins the portrait of Charles III is by Martin Jennings; the King approved it himself. The Queen’s British coins remained valid: some 27 billion were in circulation when the first circulating coins with Charles were struck.

1536 · Hampton Court
Ten guardians on the bridge
In 1536 Henry VIII had the stone bridge over the moat at Hampton Court completed, built of brick and more than 600 tonnes of stone. On it stood ten heraldic beasts, the King’s Beasts, displaying the King’s ancestry.
In the 17th century the bridge and the beasts vanished into the moat for more than 150 years. When the excavation began in 1909, only fragments of the beasts were found; the figures guarding the entrance today are copies from the 1950s.
2 June 1953 · Westminster
Ten beasts in plaster
For the coronation of Elizabeth II, ten heraldic beasts stood outside the Abbey’s glass-fronted annexe, designed by Eric Bedford: six feet tall, made of plaster, the work of James Woodford. His model was the King’s Beasts of Hampton Court.
The ten beasts chosen were those that best showed the Queen’s ancestry, from the Lion of England and the Griffin of Edward III to the Unicorn of Scotland and the White Horse of Hanover.
Copies in Portland stone stand guard at Kew outside the Palm House, a gift in 1956; the plaster figures have belonged to Canada since 1959.
The Sovereign
A gold coin travels the world
Henry VII gave the name Sovereign to a new gold coin in 1489. In the 19th century the Sovereign was called the “chief coin of the world”, accepted even in Brazil.
The Royal Mint also struck it at branch mints, from Sydney from 1855 to Pretoria from 1923, almost 500 million pieces in all. Today the Australian Sovereign of the Perth Mint shows a new St George, drawn by Jennifer McKenna.

The British Crown
Five portraits of the Queen on British coins, then Charles III: each face stands for its time.
1 Unze Gold 70.Jubiläum Thronbesteigung Elisabeth II. ( Auflage: 150 | Polierte Platte | mit Diamant)
Auflage: 150 Münzen weltweit mit echtem Diamant
Eine Hommage an Queen Elisabeth II.
Die Münze zeigt uns ein Bild der Königin aus jungen Jahren, mit dem Jahr ihrer Thronbesteigung.
Zwar wurde Sie bereits am 6. Februar 1952, nach dem Tod Ihres Vaters George VI, Königin, die Krönungszeremonie fand aber erst im darauffolgendem Jahr statt. Es war die erste Krönung die im Fernseh übertragen wurde. Elisabeth II. ist nun schon seit 70 Jahren auf dem Thron und ist damit das am längsten regierende, noch lebende, Staatsoberhaupt.
Bedeutende politische Prozesse während ihrer Herrschaft waren die Entkolonialisierung des britischen Weltreichs, der Kalte Krieg und der Nordirlandkonflikt. Trotz zunehmender Kritik der Massenmedien an der Königsfamilie und gewachsener Zustimmung zur republikanischen Staatsform, insbesondere in Australien, scheint die Unterstützung der Monarchie unter Königin Elisabeth II. weiter groß zu sein.
Auf der Münze sehen wir die junge Elisabeth II. wie Sie die stolz die Krone trägt. Die Vordersite wurde mit einigen floaren Elementen verziehrt. Zwischen den floralen Elementen ist ein Diamant in die Münze eingearbeitet, welcher der Münze einen ganz besonderen Charme verleiht.
