For this celebratory coin, the reverse is designed by sculptor John Mills.

This is paired on the obverse with Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Struck in 24.00 grams of .925 sterling silver, this edition is from a limited edition presentation of 8,728 coins. Offered by The Britannia Coin Company in its original packaging from The Royal Mint with a certificate of authenticity.
