This 1/4oz pure gold commemorative proof coin is a cherished collectable to mark the 100th birthday anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - the world’s longest reigning monarch.
The Monarch
Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926 and ascended the throne in 1952 at the age of 25, following the death of her father, King George VI. She married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947, and together they had four children. Her reign spanned 70 years, making her the longest-serving monarch in British history. As Head of the Commonwealth, she fostered unity across diverse nations and remained a steadfast figure on the global stage. Her Majesty passed away on 8 September 2022, and was succeeded by her eldest son, King Charles III. In 2026, the world commemorates what would have been her 100th birthday - celebrating a life of service, dignity and devotion to her country and the Commonwealth.
A design befitting royalty
The coin’s reverse includes five effigies of Queen Elizabeth II, each featured on coins produced by The Perth Mint. At the centre is the most recent effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Jody Clark (2019), elegantly framed in an ornate design. Surrounding it are four earlier effigies: Ian Rank-Broadley (1998) at the top left, Raphael Maklouf (1985) at the bottom left, Arnold Machin (1966) at the bottom right, and Mary Gillick (1953) at the top right. Together, these portraits reflect the evolving image of the monarch across seven decades of her historic reign.
The background features Australia’s national floral emblem, the golden wattle, symbolising the nation’s connection to the Commonwealth. Arranged clockwise from the top, are motifs of St Edward’s Crown, the Sovereign’s Orb, Tudor Rose, and Sovereign’s Sceptre - each signifying key elements of royal tradition and authority. Surrounding the design is the inscription 'H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH II 100th ANNIVERSARY', accompanied by stylised dots, the 2026 year-date, and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Presentation packaging
