Celebrate the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II with the Elizabeth II First Effigy 2026 UK £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin.
This edition revisits the first official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, originally created by sculptor Mary Gillick following her accession in 1952. The elegant remastering, by Royal Mint Chief Engraver Gordon Summers, portrays the young monarch wearing a laurel wreath - a powerful symbol of grace, strength and continuity.
The obverse features the coinage portrait of King Charles III, uniting mother and son in a unique dual-generation tribute. Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated standard and presented in bespoke packaging exploring the portrait’s history, this is a must-have first issue in a remarkable new series.
