2022 St. Helena £5 5-oz Silver Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee NGC Gem Proof First Day of Issue

Silver Coin Honors The Platinum Jubilee Of Queen Elizabeth II

This exquisite proof honors the Platinum Jubilee–70 years on the throne–of Great Britain's beloved Queen Elizabeth II. Elizabeth was only 25 when she ascended to the throne in 1952. A year later, her coronation ceremony was the first British coronation to be fully televised, an event that enthralled millions of viewers who watched the beautiful young queen invested with the robes and regalia of the monarch, including the iconic St Edward's Crown and the Orb and Scepter. In 2022, she became the first British monarch to reach the 70-year milestone, having already surpassed her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria's 63-year reign to become the longest-serving British monarch ever.

Symbolic Neoclassic Design Celebrates Queen Elizabeth II

To pay tribute to the momentous and historic occasion, the East India Company released a series of silver and gold coins that feature a symbolic neoclassic design. Each coin's stunning reverse features a design by artist Chiara Principe honoring the virtues of the late Queen, with female figures personifying loyalty, friendship, freedom, and peace. The obverse, designed by former Royal Mint engraver Jody Clark, depicts the profile of the late Queen wearing the Royal Diamond Diadem, which she wore for her Coronation more than 70 years ago on June 2, 1953.

Gorgeous Gem Proof Coins From Among The First Issued

Here you can secure the £5 coin struck in five full ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. Released on behalf of Saint Helena, a volcanic tropical island nation in the South Atlantic Ocean that is part of the British Overseas Territory, this coin also comes graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in gorgeous Gem Proof condition, a distinction that means it was expertly crafted from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. In addition, NGC has further certified that each proof available here is a First Day of Issue (FDI) coin, a distinction that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository by the release date or on the business day within 24 hours of the official release date.
