Memorial of Queen Elizabeth II in coins

Portraits of her majesty by Ian Rank-Broadley, Raphael Maklouf, Jody Clark and John Bergdahl

I think I need two or three more to complete the set of Royal Mint engravers. I'd quite like to see the Queen's portrait by other engravers from other countries and mints too. There's an australian coin I'm itching to get which has all 6 RM effegies of her Majesty on the reverse, but sadly they didn't do it in gold - missed a trick there Oz.
I'd like to add Mary Gilick, Arnold Machin and Butler proof double sovereigns to the collection. It's been a right royal haul for January. 😁

Canada had a few.

Don't forget Maklouf

I think a good candidate is the Longest Reigning Monarch coin with the five definitive portraits on the reverse and the special James Butler portrait on the obverse.

It was available in expensive but gorgeous gold too.

I am lucky enough to have two of these beauties in PF68 5oz silver. Happy to let one go if anyone is interested.

What a beautiful commemorative coin. Yes I am very much interested. There is another similar style multiple portrait coin that I'd like to get my hands on too, the only problem it's an Ozzie 50p and hard to come by. 😄

Nope, but thanks for posting it I wasn't aware of this one.

I'm specifically after the Australian 50 cent coin:

These are available on eBay for the equivalent of £130.

[Kitalon]

Yep, that's quite a mark up considering they were just £69 ($135 AUD) when launched, then sold out. I might be lucky enough to find them for less than £130 at some point.

I’ll keep an eye out and let you know if I come across any. 

I’ve never really liked our own Aussie coins (sad, I know!) so I had no idea about this one.

[Kitalon]

Nor had I until I read about it in Coin Collector magazine.

Thank you I appreciate that.
