One of just 1,947 issued: five ounce silver proof commemorative UK coin, celebrating the Platinum Wedding Anniversary of Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip. The pair married in November 1947 at Westminster Abbey. The bride, then Princess Elizabeth, heir apparent to King George VI was just 21. The from gave up his Greek and Danish royal titles before the wedding and became a British subject, adopting the surname Mountbatten. Seventy years on, the couple reached a remarkable anniversary. The Royal Mint celebrated the longest royal marriage in British history with a collection of coins, struck for the occasion. This 5oz edition features a one-off double portrait of Queen and Consort, both facing right. It's the work of sculptor Etienne Millner, known also for her 2015 Sir Winston Churchill coins. Double portraits are rarely seen on the obverse of British coinage but this is certainly a fitting occasion. The reverse features a heraldic motif by veteran British coinage artist John Berghdahl, combining the arms of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh above the inscription '70 YEARS OF MARRIAGE · 2017 ·'. This coin is struck in 156.30 grams of .999 fine silver to The Royal Mint's proof standard. This is achieved with multiple strikes of hand finished dies, producing a superior finish. The piece measures 65.00 millimetres in diameter, allowing you to enjoy both original designs in all their glory. You'll receive you 5oz silver 2017 Platinum Wedding coin in its original presentation packaging from The Royal Mint which comprises a premium leather case in which the coin is encased in a clear capsule. The numbered certificate of authenticity is included, along with an information booklet.
