2000 Queen Mother Centenary £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin Pack

The 2000 Queen Mother Centenary £5 commemorates the 100th birthday of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. This special Brilliant Uncirculated coin was released by the Royal Mint as a limited issue to celebrate this momentous occasion in British royal history.

Coin Design and Features

The reverse of this commemorative £5 coin features a superb portrait of the Queen Mother created by Ian Rank Broadley. The artist worked from photographs that the Queen Mother graciously permitted to be taken specifically for this special coin. The design symbolizes the Queen Mother’s century of life by including cheering crowds in the background – those in Victorian dress celebrating her birth and those in modern attire marking her hundredth year. Below the portrait appears a representation of her signature.

The obverse displays the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, also designed by Ian Rank Broadley FRBS, FSNAD.
