Since 1953, the Queen’s image has adorned British coinage in a beautiful series of portraits that mark her journey to becoming Britain’s longest and oldest reigning monarch. With this 90th birthday effigy, his second of Her Majesty The Queen, Raphael Maklouf has once more captured the essence Queen Elizabeth II with a stunning portrait sculpted in honour of her landmark ninetieth birthday.

Drawing inspiration from his earlier portrait, Maklouf has created a new couped portrait of Her Majesty the Queen in which she once more wears the Royal Diamond Diadem and earrings that mark Maklouf’s portraits. With extraordinary skill, he has also managed to depict the quiet happiness that has marked the latter part of Her Majesty’s record-breaking reign and shows a Queen, deservedly content after nine decades gloriously accomplished.

The reverse symbolises the shields of the Royal Arms. Located at the north and south positions are the shields that represent England, containing three lions passant. A lion rampant represents Scotland in the east position, and to the west is a harp that represents Ireland. The four quadrants depict the St. Edwards crown, encircled by the Latin inscription ‘NOVEM DECENNIS GLORIOSE PERACTIS’ (nine decades gloriously accomplished). The year dates 1926-2016 represent Her Majesty’s 90^th Birthday.
