The second design of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign was the first portrait to feature a crown. The effigy was very popular and was used for Britain’s first pre-decimal coinage as well as postage stamps
The third portrait of Queen Elizabeth II featured her wearing a Royal Diadem. The portrait displays her majesty with a necklace and earrings causing critics to accuse the designer of making the Queen “flatteringly young”. These Sovereigns were proof only
Ian Rank-Broadley won a Royal Mint competition in 1997 to design the effigy of Queen Elizabeth from 1998. The portrait was designed to fill the full field of the coin in response to smaller 5 and 10 pence coins in circulation
The final portrait was designed by Jody Clark whom at age 33 is the youngest person to design a monarch’s portrait on a Sovereign coin. She is also the first Royal Mint employee to design an effigy of a Royal to be struck on a currency coin
Queen Elizabeth II has featured on more Gold sovereigns than any other monarch before her
The portraits capture the life of the popular Queen Elizabeth II with some of the portrait being higher premium pieces
