SIX Remarkable Commemoratives that Celebrate Her Majesty’s 90th Birthday

This year Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II becomes the first ever British monarch to celebrate her 90th birthday. This significant moment in history will certainly be one to remember.

So I’ve compiled a list of my six favourite commemoratives for you to peruse. In my opinion any Royal collector would be lucky to have these in their collection, especially the 10 ounce gold coin!

1. The Queen Elizabeth II 90th Birthday Proof Coin

    I like coins/stamp cards that are both aesthetically pleasing and a lifelike representation of the subject-so,I am hoping for the chance to obtain numbers 5 and 6 on this list-will this be possible/at what cost?
    Cheers,
    Michael
