It is an uncommon event that a coin is issued with a duel effigy included on the obverse, this makes this coin incredibly unique! Pobjoy Mint has unique approval from the Queen to feature a duel-effigy of her and HRH Prince Philip together. Pobjoy Mint are incredibly excited to have this permission as it is the first time that this picture has ever been seen on a coin! Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Philip have had an amazing life together and have actually committed their lives to the duty of monarchy. The couple first met at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth in 1939 when the Queen was just 13- years-old, and began exchanging letters prior to eventually becoming officially taken part in 1947, following the Queen's 21st birthday. The royal pair married later in the very same year and in November this year will commemorate their Platinum Wedding anniversary. The monarch was crowned five years after their wedding event following the death of her father King George VI, who passed away aged just 56, and although the transition changed their lives forever the couple have always approached their royal tasks with a sense of humour and love for each other that, over the decades, is testimony to their enduring love. The design on the reverse of this coin is based on the official picture taken on the Queen's 90th Birthday and is the last picture in the series of main photos. This effective image was taken around Easter at Windsor Castle. In order to keep the exclusivity of this coin Pobjoy Mint is happy to provide 10,000 Cupro Nickel coins on behalf of South Georgia and The South Sandwich Islands.
