There are two photographs - the first was taken 4 days after her coronation. It shows the Queen as she stands on the balcony of Buckingham palace with her husband his Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh and a young Prince Charles and Princess Anne.
The photograph on the bottom was taken at the Trooping the Colour in 2012 for Her Majesty's birthday
parade. With her beloved husband, the late Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, she watches as the Royal Air
Force fly pass with their family from the balcony of Buckingham Palace after the Trooping The Colour at the
Horse Guards Parade in London.
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' taken from
Princess Elizabeth's speech in 1947 as she dedicated her life to the service of the Commonwealth.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it has a unique design that features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and a depiction of the Queen's cipher, which includes her initials "EIIR" and the St. Edward's Crown, on the other side. This design was created specifically for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations and is not found on any other coins.
