God Save the Queen...

Very nice indeed @ShortJohnSilver . Who's coins are the portraits from?

These are the portraits, I understand, used by the Royal Mint of Queen Elizabeth II.
I placed them into this post to simply allow anyone to comment on all things related rather than guiding the topic myself...

What was you're take on them?

Where they used (for example) throughout the Commonwealth?

Please share what you know...

(Glad to hear you're back safe from the frozen part of America :-o)

I know nothing - that's why I asked . I didn't recognise them from UK coinage, especially the first one, and I wondered whether they were either used in commonwealth coinage or whether they were produced by another mint.

very interesting  @ShortJohnSilver I too didn't recognise them but wow.

Love the pictures over time @ShortJohnSilver

I have considered renaming this post...

"God Save The Queen
(from Paddington Bear)"

Ahhhhh!
The video of the tea party was the highlight of the weekend. Simon Farnaby on his usual brilliant form too.

Just seen this on Koin Club advert...
