Comment
Issued to commemorate the 90th Birthday of HM The Queen, the coin was issued individually and struck in several denominations and metals. Issue Limit: 450Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it has a unique reverse design that features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, surrounded by a pattern of 90 roses, one for each year of the Queen's life. The roses are arranged in a spiral pattern, with each rose overlapping the next, symbolizing the Queen's enduring reign. The design is particularly striking because it combines traditional elements of coin design, such as the portrait of the monarch, with a modern and unique interpretation of the Queen's milestone birthday.
