BEHIND THE CRAFT
Behind the Craft- The Portrait Collection
At 18:30BST on the 8th of September 2022, Buckingham Palace shared the sad news that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II had died at the age of 96. Her late Majesty was at Balmoral, believed to be her favourite residence, when she passed away surrounded by the Scottish Highlands she loved so dearly.
Her late Majesty’s official coinage portraits charted the second Elizabethan Age, the longest reign in British history. Together they capture her journey from a 25-year-old Queen full of hope and expectation to the dignified Head of State now mourned by her family, loved ones and millions of people across the world.

Stories
Portrait Coin Collection
The story of the life and reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is perhaps best told by her official coinage portraits, a series of snapshots that chart her journey from a 25 year old woman thrust upon the throne to the dignified Head of State who celebrated her unique Platinum Jubilee just a few months before her passing.
It opens with the grace of Mary Gillick’s neo-classical portrait and continues with Arnold Machin’s 1968 effigy, adapted for British postage stamps to become the most reproduced image in history. Raphael Maklouf’s controversially stylised portrait followed in 1985 before Ian Rank-Broadley presented his contentiously realistic likeness of the Queen as she entered her seventies, in 1998.
