Description
In 2022, a special issue of half sovereign was struck for the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. This was the first time a British monarch had reigned for seventy years and this attractive coin celebrates this magnificent achievement.
The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The reverse design by Timothy Noad is an interpretation of the Royal Coat of Arms with the quartered shield of the United Kingdom surmounted by a crown, with a lion and a unicorn to each side. The date is shown below the shield.
