Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Portrait 50p Coin

2022 · Royalty & Royal Occasions · Commemorative

Price Guide: £4.00

Issued following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, this memorial 50p honours her record-breaking 70-year reign - the longest of any British monarch. It followed shortly after her Platinum Jubilee coin was issued earlier the same year, giving 2022 two distinct Elizabeth II commemoratives.

As a solemn, one-off commemorative rather than a mass circulation design, it's a popular coin for collectors marking the end of the Elizabethan era.
