Portraits of a Queen - Elizabeth II The Fourth Effigy 2026 UK £5 Silver Proof Piedfort Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present the Portraits of a Queen - Elizabeth II The Fourth Effigy 2026 UK £5 Silver Proof Piedfort Coin by The Royal Mint.        

During a record-breaking reign that spanned more than seven decades, Elizabeth II established herself as one of the most memorable monarchs in British history. Five definitive portraits of the queen appeared on the coins of the United Kingdom throughout that period.

Our Portraits of a Queen Collection takes a closer look at each of these effigies and the stories behind their creation. For the reverse of each coin in the collection, these original portraits have been remastered by Gordon Summers, The Royal Mint’s Chief Engraver.

Available in various editions, the fourth coin features Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Elizabeth II, which depicts a realistic representation of the monarch and was inspired by Benedetto Pistrucci’s 1817 coinage portrait of George III.
