    Queen Elizabeth II Coins

    This post is in loving memory of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), an undoubtedly courageous and lovable leader who will be remembered for decades and centuries to come. Billions of coins around the world have depicted Queen Elizabeth II since the beginning of her extraordinary reign in the 1950s onward. According to the Guiness Book of World Records and its associated website, 33 is the highest number of “currencies featuring the same individual” — the individual being Queen Elizabeth II. Below is a list of coins in my collection with her portrait gracing the obverse side. There are thousands of more examples and coin types — feel free to comment if you have any “queen coins” not listed below! Thanks to the timeless quality of past, present, and hopefully future coinage, her legendary legacy will surely continue for many years.
