People can still buy the two Platinum Jubilee coins issued by the Royal Mint. Although already marking a landmark year in the Royal Family’s history, even more sentimental value is set to be added to the memorabilia after the Queen’s death on Thursday.
On the Royal Mint website, the 50p coin, which features a commemorative Platinum Jubilee portrait of Her Majesty and an Osborne Ross design on the back, can be bought for £7, plus delivery. This was the first time a royal event had been celebrated with a 50p coin, and it comes with a booklet which looks back over The Queen’s previous jubilee celebrations.
The second keepsake is a £5 coin, featuring the commemorative Platinum Jubilee portrait of the Queen on horseback plus a John Bergdahl design on the reverse, which is still available to buy for £10. The packaging also explored how the Queen's coinage portraits captured her growth from a young queen to an experienced monarch.
