| A brief annotation | Only two monarchs in British history have ever celebrated a Diamond Jubilee – Queen Victoria and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This year marks the anniversary of both Coronations, the 175th Anniversary for Queen Victoria’s Coronation and the 60th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation. This coin was issued to commemorate both these amazing achievements which shows Queen Victoria and her great, great grand-daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. |
