Struck to celebrate the 95th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, this magnificent Double Sovereign pays tribute to her lifetime of honour and service with a design inspired by the very first Sovereign minted in 1489, during the reign of King Henry VII.

This spectacular gold proof coin features the Royal Arms on the reverse within a crowned double rose, surrounded by the inscription

IHESVS · AVTEM· TRANSIENS · PER · MEDIVM · ILLORVM · IBAT

which translates as “But Jesus walked right through the crowd and went on his way.” (Luke 4:30), the same inscription that featured on the original 1489 coin.
