Marking the Birth of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother is fondly remembered by the British public as a figure of national strength and resilience, notably during the Second World War. Throughout her life, which spanned more than a century, she provided staunch support to two British monarchs – her husband, George VI, and her eldest daughter, Elizabeth II. This coin pays tribute to The Queen Mother with a reverse design featuring a portrait that formed part of the coin design marking her 80th birthday in 1980.
