Her 44 years on the throne marked the end of the rule of the Tudors. She had no children to succeed her, her virginity was in fact seen as a sign of purity and her decision to remain unmarried was one that was respected by many.
Elizabeth I can be seen in full colour on the reverse of this 24-carat gold plated commemorative. The obverse is truly unique as it features a real ruby centred on a Tudor Rose.
This regal commemorative is part of the Tudor Times Collection which showcases iconic events, people and symbols of this fascinating period of time.
