2011 sees two important Royal Birthdays - Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's 85th and HRH Prince Philip's 90th.
Now you can celebrate these landmark birthdays with a new British Isles £5 Coin. Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated quality, the crown-sized piece features a rare con-joined portrait of the Queen and Prince Philip by renowned coin sculptor David Cornell, whose previous designs have included the iconic United Kingdom Princess Diana Memorial Coin, issued in 1999.
The reverse design has been beautifully executed by herald artist Timothy Noad, whose works include United Kingdom Sovereign designs. His opposing lions, inspired by the supporters on the Royal Coat of Arms, are exquisitely highlighted in gold ink, making this coin something truly special.
