📖 Story – From Accession to Legacy

This two-coin bundle captures the full arc of Queen Elizabeth II’s extraordinary life and reign.

The Mary Gillick portrait, first introduced in 1952, reflects the young Queen at the beginning of her reign — a symbol of renewal and continuity following her accession to the throne.

The Birth Centenary coin commemorates her legacy 100 years after her birth, recognising a reign that spanned over seven decades and shaped modern British history.

Together, these coins form a powerful narrative — from a young monarch ascending the throne to a global symbol of stability and service.

🎨 Design Description

The Mary Gillick Portrait coin features the Queen’s first official effigy, showing a youthful portrait adorned with a laurel wreath, symbolising honour and continuity. The design has been remastered by Gordon Summers, preserving its classical elegance.

The Birth Centenary coin showcases the Royal Cypher “EIIR” beneath a crown, surrounded by ornate scrollwork and the Latin inscription:
“EXALTABITUR IN GLORIA” with the dates 1926–2026.

Both coins feature the effigy of King Charles III, symbolically linking two reigns on modern British coinage.
