In 2000 to celebrate the Centenary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Queen Mother Centenary £5 Five Pound Gold Proof Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR70 DCAM with special NFC Anti-Counterfeiting Technology.
For his superb portrait of the Queen Mother, Ian Rank Broadley worked from photographs which the Queen Mother graciously allowed to be taken for this very special purpose.
To symbolise The Queen Mother's Century, he has included cheering crowds in the background, those in Victorian dress rejoicing at her birth and those in modern dress celebrating her 100th year.
Below the portrait appears a representation of her signature.
The obverse features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley FRBS, FSNAD.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
