2022 – A Historic Year for Queen Elizabeth II

2022 was one of the most significant years in modern royal history. In February, Queen Elizabeth II became the first British monarch to reach a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years on the throne, and the nation celebrated with the Platinum Jubilee Weekend in June. Just a few months later, on 8 September 2022, the Queen passed away at Balmoral, bringing to a close the longest reign in British history.

2022 was also the final year in which British coins were issued bearing only her portrait, before The Royal Mint introduced the first coins featuring King Charles III. That makes a Queen Elizabeth II £5 silver proof coin from 2022 a particularly poignant piece for collectors – a reminder of the end of a remarkable era.

Why Collect Silver Proof Coins?

Proof is the highest quality of coin produced by The Royal Mint. Proof coins are struck several times using specially polished dies, giving sharp, frosted design details set against a mirror-like background. Made in sterling silver and in limited numbers for collectors, they are always best kept in their original case with the certificate and booklet, just like this example. You can find out more about Royal Mint £5 coins on The Royal Mint website.

This Queen Elizabeth II £5 silver proof coin is a fine modern Royal Mint issue with an elegant commemorative design. An appealing addition for collectors of Queen Elizabeth II coinage, Royal Mint issues and British silver proof coins – and a meaningful gift for anyone who admired the late Queen.

Caring for Your Coin

To keep your Queen Elizabeth II £5 silver proof coin at its best, handle it by the edges only, as fingerprints on the mirrored surfaces can cause marks over time. Keep the coin in its capsule and case, store it somewhere cool and dry, and never try to clean or polish it.
