Platinum Wedding, United Kingdom, 2017, 28.28g, 92.5%

A platinum wedding anniversary is a significant event for any couple. For two people who have lived their lives under the glare of public and media scrutiny, it is a testament to their unwavering devotion, strength of character and good humour.

Two sides of this world-famous yet down-to-earth couple are brought to life on this sterling silver £5 coin, finished to Proof standard. Etienne Millner’s combined portrait on the obverse represents a sense of duty, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh supporting Her Majesty The Queen in his role of royal consort. On the reverse, John Bergdahl’s equestrian portrait captures the couple sharing their love of horses side-by-side.
