Her Majesty The Queen’s 95th birthday
This special £5 coin celebrates a remarkable milestone, making Queen Elizabeth II the first British monarch to reach such a grand age.
During her reign The Royal Mint has created five different effigies of Her Majesty The Queen documenting her reign, and she resides on every British coin in circulation.

This landmark moment introduced the coins we use today, and was Britain’s biggest peacetime operation. It marks a special anniversary in The Royal Mint’s own 1,100-year history and has been commemorated on a 50p coin.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, the Decimal Day 50p coin features the second effigy of Her Majesty The Queen on its obverse - this portrait was created by Arnold Machin RA for decimalisation to mark the transition and help people identify the new coinage.
The reverse design was created by Royal Mint employee Dominique Evans. This coin featuring the Queen’s second effigy is only available as part of the annual set.

The Royal Mint on Sept. 28 unveiled what officials there are calling the world’s most visually secure bullion coin.
These new security features are debuting on the 2021 Britannia gold and silver coins. The Britannia range contains four innovative security features, which enable customers to verify that the product is authentic by rotating it in the light.
The Royal Mint is the primary producer of bullion coins in Britain, as well as offering a range of other physical and digital precious metal products, safe storage and wealth management solutions.
The Britannia has been the Royal Mint’s flagship bullion coin since it was first introduced in 1987.
The new edition, which goes on sale starting Oct. 19, introduces layers of new security features that combine to make it the most visually secure coin in the world, according to the mint.
New features
The features include:
Latent image: First introduced on the £2 coin, the latent image acts like a hologram and changes from a padlock to a trident when the coin is seen from different angles.
Surface Animation: Micro details on the coin combine to create the illusion of waves rolling behind the figure of Britannia. These are created using advanced picosecond lasers, and come to life as the coin is rotated.
Micro-text: The addition of the inscription DECUS ET TUTAMEN, which translates to “an ornament and a safeguard,” surrounds the figure of Britannia and is created using specialist lasers.
New 50p Coin
Tincture lines: To reinforce security, the Royal Mint has reintroduced the traditional art of tincture lines — depicting colors and patterns on metal.
The Royal Mint was one of the first mints in the world to use advanced picosecond lasers — used in medicine and aerospace — for the production of coins, the Royal Mint said. This technology enables the Royal Mint to work on a submicron level, creating complex designs using indents which are 200 times narrower than the width of a human hair.
Together these tiny indents can create spectacular special effects — such as the movement of waves seen in the background of the Britannia coin. The advanced technology and intricacy of the design makes it incredibly difficult to replicate, and gives the owner confidence that they have a genuine gold product simply by rotating it in the light.
