Celebrate the Centenary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II with this exclusive gold-plated £5 coin cover

Imagine a life spanning nearly a century of change, where one woman's quiet resolve became a nation's heartbeat. In 2026, we mark the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth - a sovereign born 21st April 1926, in London's Mayfair, who at 25 ascended the throne and guided Britain through post-war recovery, empire's twilight, and a new millennium. With unshakeable grace amid upheavals, profound resilience in trials, and unwavering duty, she was our longest-reigning monarch and devoted matriarch whose warmth touched her family and millions beyond. This exclusive commemorative coin cover immortalises her legacy, evoking a queen whose influence inspired the world and reshaped modern royalty.

At the heart of the cover is a £5 coin accented in pure 24-carat gold and boasting an impeccable proof-like finish. Officially approved by Buckingham Palace, this 2026-dated issue showcases a unique design by Royal Mint artist Sandra Deiana, inspired by Dorothy Wilding's iconic 1952 accession portrait. It captures the poised 25-year-old Queen in the Diamond Diadem, later used on the UK's first definitive stamps of her reign from 1952 to 1971, known as the 'Wildings'. The coin mirrors this likeness, framing her in a laurel wreath symbolising honour and longevity. The reverse features centenary dates 1926-2026 and her 'Elizabeth R' signature ('R' for Regina), with King Charles III's obverse portrait by Jody Clark, designer of the Queen’s final UK coin effigy.

To complete this historic cover, it features a beautifully reproduced painting by acclaimed artist Diane Fawcett, depicting Queen Elizabeth II in her later years, radiating timeless wisdom and grace. Adding further significance, the cover includes a 2022 Platinum Jubilee Anniversary stamp specially postmarked on 1st January 2026, ushering in the centenary year. This postmark confirms the extremely limited edition of just 2,026 covers worldwide.

With a low edition limit, don’t miss the chance to secure your 2026 Centenary of Queen Elizabeth II Gold-Plated £5 Coin Cover - a must for enthusiasts of royalty and history alike - before it sells out.
