2017 Silver Proof 3 Coin Collection - QEII SAPPHIRE JUBILEE

The 2017 Queen Elizabeth II Sapphire Jubilee Solid Silver Proof 3-Coin Collection

In 2017, Queen Elizabeth II marked 65 years of her historic reign and so became the first ever British monarch to celebrate this incredible milestone.  Her Majesty ascended the throne on 6th February 1952 when she was just 25 years old as the eldest child of King Goerge VI and his wife Elizabeth.  A constant through an era of change, the Queen's reign was officially longer than any of her royal ancestors.  In September 2015, she overtook the 63 year, 216 day resign of her great great grandmother, Queen Victoria, and is our first and only Sovereign to commemorate a 90th Birthday.  A 65th Anniversary is a momentous occasion, traditionally associated with a Sapphire, a blue Sapphire in particular.  Her Majesty's historic Sapphire Jubilee firmly cements her place in British history.

In honour of this truly unprecedented royal occasion, your limited edition Queen Elizabeth II Sapphire Jubilee Solid Silver Proof Coin Collection has been exclusively released.  This stunning coin collection consists of £1, £2 and £5 piece, each officially approved by Buckingham Palace and struck in 925/1000 Sterling Silver to the highest Proof finish.  The reverses feature a beautiful design by leading heraldic artist, Timothy Noad, and include Her Majesty's Royal cypher encirculated by the four floral emblems of the United Kingdom - the English rose, the Scottish thistle, the Welsh daffodil and the Irish Shamrock.  Completing the design is the number "65", representative of the number of years Her Majesty has reigned.
