70 Years of HM Queen Elizabeth II & HRH Prince Philip: 90th Birthday - 2017 Unc. Cupro Nickel

It is a rare occurrence that a coin is issued with a dual effigy featured on the obverse, this makes this coin incredibly special! Pobjoy Mint has received exclusive approval from HM Queen Elizabeth to feature a dual-effigy of her and HRH Prince Philip together. We are incredibly excited to have this permission as it is the first time that this portrait has ever been used on a coin!

The design on the reverse of this coin is based on the official portrait taken on the Queen’s 90th Birthday and is the final portrait in the series of official pictures. This powerful image was taken around Easter at Windsor Castle.  In order to maintain the exclusivity of this coin Pobjoy Mint is proud to issue 10,000 Cupro Nickel, 2,000 Proof Sterling Silver on behalf of the Falkland Islands.
