Slabbed and graded 2022 Elizabeth II Memorial Ten Ounce Silver Proof Coin .999 fine silver 10oz Elizabeth II memorial coin from a limited edition presentation of just 1,000 pieces. This collectible £10 coin is part of a moving collection from The Royal Mint, celebrating the life and legacy of Her Majesty the Queen, who passed away at Balmoral Castle on 8 September 2022. The new range includes the first UK coins to feature the new definitive portrait of King Charles III, designed by sculptor Martin Jennings. The effigy shows King Charles facing right, following a centuries-old British coinage tradition wherein the new monarch faces the opposite direction to their predecessor. Charles’ portrait is surrounded by a legend that reads: 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS · 2022'. The reverse of this coin features a right-facing portrait of the late Queen by prolific coinage artist John Bergdahl. In this graceful depiction, inspired by historic numismatic designs, Elizabeth II is shown wearing a pearl necklace and is surrounded by laurel branches and rose, tied with a ribbon. The legend reads ‘ELIZABETH REGINA 1926-2022’. It’s a remarkable tribute to our longest reigning monarch, the first to mark a Platinum Jubilee. Comes with certificate of authenticity and original box.
