About Your Collection

Diamond Jubilee Coin Collectin Box smalThank you for deciding to collect the Diamond Jubilee Coin Collection - an historic tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Your collection will initially comprise a series of 12 coins entitled a "History in Portraiture" which depicts Her Majesty over the 60 years of her reign through the lenses of some of the world's most famous photographers.  From there you can choose to continue collecting as the coins broaden their scope to create possibly the most comprehensive Royal Coin Collection to date.

About the Coins

Each crown-sized coin has been plated in pure 24-carat gold before being struck to the finest proof-like finish.  A specially designed minting "collar" has been used to give the coins a unique diamond-shaped milling around the rim.

Once struck, special printing technology has been used to allow the addition of the beautiful coloured portraits of the Queen, which adorn each piece.

About your Collection

Each month you will be able to add a new "History of Portraiture" coin to your Diamond Jubilee Collection before deciding whether to continue to build your collection with further coins.  With your second coin (the one after your initial introductory offer) you will receive a temporary collection case to house and protect each of your coins.  With your fourth coin you will receive your numbered Certificate of Ownership and with your tenth coin your collection case will be upgraded free of charge to a luxurious Collection Case, which is worth £29.95.

Learn More About the Designs

Each of the first twelve coins features a classic image of Her Majesty over her 60 years on the throne.  Follow the links below to find out more about the photographers behind these classic images.
