In 2000
to celebrate the 100th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, the
Royal Mint released a Limited Issue
Brilliant Uncirculated
Queen Mother Centenary £5 Five Pound Coin Pack .
For his superb portrait of the Queen Mother, Ian Rank Broadley worked from photographs which the Queen Mother graciously allowed to be taken for this very special purpose.
To symbolise The Queen Mothers century, he has included cheering crowds in the background, those in Victorian dress rejoicing at her birth and those in modern dress celebrating her hundredth year. Below the portrait appears a representation of her signature.
The obverse is the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley FRBS, FSNAD.
