The first photograph on the coin shows Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Il's 1957 Christmas Broadcast.
This was an historic event as it was the first time that the British monarch's Christmas speech was televised. It
was also the 25th anniversary of the first Christmas Broadcast on the radio by Her Majesty's grandfather, the
late King George V.
The photograph at the bottom of the coin shows Her Majesty giving her historic coronavirus speech, 75 years
on from VE Day. She referred to the lyrics that gave comfort to millions during the Second World War, once
again providing that glimmer of light to the nation - We will meet again.
The photographs are divided by a sceptre entwined with sprigs of oak inspired by the House of Windsor Crest,
with St Edward's crown, the official coronation crown featured at both ends and the shield of the Royal Coat of
Arms in the centre.
Script: Latin
Lettering:
The inscription reads *I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short
shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong'.
