A reassuring constant in our lives for over 70 years, our beloved queen, unlike any other figure in history, gave so much to our nation that her very being becomes inseparable from the fabric of British life. As Britain’s illustrious longest reigning monarch, with a reign stretching an incredible seven decades, Queen Elizabeth II was not just a witness to history, but an integral part of it.
In tribute to, and celebration of, our cherished late Queen, the 2025 Queen Elizabeth II ‘The Longest-Reigning Sovereign’ Gold Proof Quarter Sovereign has just been released and features a spectacular remastering of the famously enduring 1953 Mary Gillick portrait – the first official coin portrait of our record-breaking monarch, and the longest-serving coin portrait in British history!
Mary Gillick’s 1953 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II holds a special place in British history, as it was the very first official image of the young queen to appear on coinage after her accession to the throne. Gillick’s design stood out for its fresh, youthful feel, and became one of the most iconic images of the queen during the early years of her reign. The portrait was retired from circulation in 1967 when Britain embraced decimalisation, meaning that it was the only pre-decimal portrait of her reign. But as Gillick’s portrait had been so highly esteemed, it was chosen to remain on the Queen’s ceremonial Maundy Money for the rest of her life - lasting an incredible 69 years!
Minted in solid 22-carat gold to Proof quality, JUST 469 of these gold Proof quarter sovereigns have been released worldwide - in honour of not only our late Queen’s illustrious reign, but of the portrait that bore witness to history in the making.
