5 pounds Great Britain 2022 – Queen Elizabeth II Memorial

The coin is dedicated to the memory of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Elizabeth II came to the throne on February 6, 1952, and thus was the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, the longest-reigning female head of state in history, as well as the oldest and longest-reigning head of state.

Obverse: The first portrait of His Majesty the King personally approved by the monarch.
Reverse: two portraits of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, her crown and years of life.
