Throughout her incredible seventy-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II appeared on a multitude of different coins, from pre-decimal to now. The very first coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was created by Mary Gillick in 1953, and was used on coins in the United Kingdom and other countries until 1970.
Here, we will be looking back at the British coins of Queen Elizabeth II through the years.
A silver sculpture of St George slaying the Dragon is used as an automobile mascot for Queen Elizabeth II‘s state limousines.
This sculpture was designed in 1952 by Edward Seago, the same year that Elizabeth became Queen.
Ask just about anyone in Britain, or indeed around the world, to describe a gold sovereign and chances are they will describe a gold coin with St George vanquishing the dragon. This mythical tale of good triumphing over evil has such a long and illustrious association with the gold sovereign coin that the two are almost synonymous.
Now, in 2022, the year of the Platinum Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II, a dynamic new rendition of St George slaying the dragon has been created, and to elevate this new edition beyond those that have gone before, it is being struck – for the first time ever – in two types of solid 22 carat gold!

As the Queen reaches another incredible reigning milestone, it is inevitable that at some point there will be a shift in the British monarchy. If the Queen does decide not to abdicate, but feels that she is unable to perform her royal duties to the fullest potential, there is an option for there to be a dual monarchy.
In our latest blog, we will be exploring all you need to know about a dual monarchy…
This year, Prince William and his family will move into Adelaide Cottage. Situated on the grounds of Windsor Castle, this four-bedroom house is the ideal family home for William, Kate, George, Charlotte and Louis.
Having been a royal family residence since the 19th century, this cottage is certainly a great choice for the second heir to the British throne. Not only does it move him closer to his grandmother, the Queen, but also his father, Prince Charles, allowing the inevitable transition of monarchy to run smoothly.
