Platinum Jubilee

This special Royal Coat of Arms half sovereign has been issued to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Elizabeth II ascended the British throne on 6th February 1952 after the sudden death of her father, King George VI. She was not officially crowned until 2nd June 1953.

In 2022 Queen Elizabeth will celebrate her Platinum Jubilee (70 years of service). She is the first British monarch to reach this milestone event. 

The Royal Arms

The British Royal Coat of Arms is unique to each monarch. It consists of a crest, motto and shield, with two 'supporters' on each side. Queen Elizabeth II's coat of arms features the quartered shield of the United Kingdom, surmounted by a royal crown. The motto reads "Dieu et mon droit", meaning "God on my right". 

The shield dates back to the 1707 Act of Union and symbolises the alliance of the four Great British nations. The shield displays the three passant lions for England, the rampant lion for Scotland, the three lions for Wales and the golden harp for Northern Ireland. The supporters of the shield are a golden lion and a silver unicorn. 

The obverse of the 2022 half sovereign features the fifth coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. The text reads:

· ELIZABETH II ∙ DEI ∙ GRA · REGINA ∙ FID ∙ DEF

The reverse was designed by heraldic artist, Timothy Noad, and features an interpretation of the Royal Coat of Arms. The arms consist of the quartered shield of the United Kingdom, surmounted by a royal crown, topped by a golden lion. The date appears at the bottom.
