Comment
In 2007, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip returned to Broadlands for their 60th wedding anniversary. The image shown on revers of this coin is a recreation of a photo taken just after their wedding in 1947. It looked like the Queen was wearing the very same necklace and brooch!Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 70th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The coin features a portrait of the couple on its obverse side, and the reverse side features a design depicting the couple's wedding day in 1947. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and royal family enthusiasts.
