UK Centenary Celebration: 2026 Arnold Machin Portrait Silver Piedfort £5 Coin

* JUST 1,500 WORLDWIDE *

2026 marks 100 years since the birth of Queen Elizabeth II, and The Royal Mint continues its landmark Portraits of a Queen £5 coin series with the second release - featuring Arnold Machin’s celebrated effigy of Her Late Majesty.

Introduced in 1968, Machin’s portrait became one of the most recognisable images of Queen Elizabeth II, showing the young monarch wearing a tiara gifted to her by Queen Mary. Now, more than half a century later, this timeless design has been expertly remastered by Gordon Summers, Chief Engraver at The Royal Mint.

Struck in Sterling Silver to the finest Proof standard, this prestigious Piedfort edition is double the weight and thickness of the standard Silver Proof coin, enhancing the level of detail and craftsmanship in every strike.

With just 1,500 available worldwide, it is one of the most limited coins of the year - and over 60% scarcer than the standard Silver Proof edition.

• Features the iconic Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II
• Struck to the highest Proof standard in Sterling Silver
• Presented in official Royal Mint packaging with informative booklet
• Obverse carries the Martin Jennings portrait of His Majesty King Charles III

Secure yours today for The Royal Mint issue price before this highly anticipated second release in the Portraits of a Queen series inevitably sells out.
