100 Years of QEII: UK 2026 'Portraits of a Queen' Arnold Machin £5 Coin Pack

2026 marks 100 years since the birth of Queen Elizabeth II. To celebrate this historic centenary, The Royal Mint continues its prestigious Portraits of a Queen series - a five-coin collection honouring each of Her Late Majesty’s official effigies that appeared on UK coinage during her remarkable reign.

The second release features Arnold Machin’s iconic effigy of Queen Elizabeth II - introduced in 1968 and instantly recognisable to generations of coin collectors. Depicting the young monarch wearing a tiara gifted to her by Queen Mary, this portrait became a defining image of Her Majesty’s enduring grace and modernity.

Now, remastered by Gordon Summers, Chief Engraver at The Royal Mint, the design has been faithfully restored for a new generation of collectors.

• Showcases the Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
• Struck to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, a finish superior to coins in circulation
• Presented in official Royal Mint packaging with insight into this historic design

Order today for just £17.50 (+p&p) and secure the second coin in the Portraits of a Queen collection.
