What is The Queen’s Reign Honours and Investitures Collection?
#ad Direct from The Royal Mint UK Coins
The Queen’s Reign collection is a series of three coins issued by The Royal Mint commemorating the Honours and Investitures Her Majesty has bestowed on individuals for their service during her 70-year reign. Each coin is instantly recognisable as it features The Queen’s signature – the first time that The Queen’s signature has appeared on any UK coin!
The second coins in the series, The Queen’s Reign Charity and Patronage Coins, were released on the 18th July 2022. The remaining coins in the collection will be released later in 2022.
The first coin celebrates The Queen’s role in awarding honours that recognise individual service, and is available to buy now.
Available in July, the second coin highlights Her Majesty’s charitable work, and the final coin, available in August, celebrates her role as head of the Commonwealth. Each coin features The Queen’s signature, which is a UK coinage first and will be available in various editions.
