Pièce 2 onces en or Jubilé de platine de la Reine 2022 | Monnaie de Perth

Struck from 2oz of 99.99% pure gold with a supreme proof quality finish, this extremely low mintage coin celebrates Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee – an extraordinary, record-breaking royal achievement.

Remarkable reign

The Queen’s remarkable reign began on 6 February 1952. Admired as a symbol of strength and stability and beloved by many people around the globe, she has become the first British monarch to celebrate 70 years on the throne.

Symbolic design

The coin depicts the Shield of the Royal Coat of Arms and a figurative flower stem combining an English rose, Irish shamrock and Scottish thistle, together with Australian wattle - our national floral emblem. Included in the design is the inscription ‘H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH 1952 | 2022’, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, and an artistic interpretation of the mantle from the Royal Arms - originally a linen cover on the back of a medieval knight's helmet.

A special obverse depicts a fan of wattle overlaid with Her Majesty’s first and current coin effigies. Introduced on Australian circulating coinage in 1953, Mary Gillick’s popular likeness of the young Queen appears above Jody Clark’s portrait, the sixth effigy to have been created during her reign.

Key features:

• Proof quality 99.99% pure gold
• Australian legal tender
• Special obverse featuring first and current effigies
• Design officially approved by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst one of the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
