Comment

Queen Elizabeth II is the first ever British Monarch to have a reign long enough to achieve a Sapphire Jubilee. We have decided to honour Her Majesty by releasing a coin featuring the Royal Crest.

The Royal Crest featured on the design has evolved over nine centuries since Richard the Lionheart chose three lions to represent England. The Crest appears above on the gates of Buckingham Palaces and shows the shield of the United Kingdom Royal Arms supported by the English Lion on the left and the Scottish Unicorn on the right. The patron Saint of England, St George is shown just below the crest. The obverse features the Pobjoy exclusive effigy design of HM Queen Elizabeth II in exceptional detail.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique Coat of Arms design for the British Indian Ocean Territory, which includes a shield with a golden tiger and a dolphin, symbolizing the territory's rich wildlife and marine resources.
