Queen’s 70th anniversar­y coin

-

A set of double-headed platinum coins have been created to mark the Queen’s 70th wedding anniversar­y.

Images of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh appear on the coins, struck as they become the first British royal couple to celebrate a platinum wedding anniversar­y.

The Royal Mint said they appear in a double profile portrait on one side of the coin, while the reverse has them on horseback and is edged with the words “wedded love has joined them in happiness 1947-2017”.
