An extraordinary limited-edition gold Proof coin from The Royal Mint, issued in 2012 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, celebrating an unprecedented 60 years of devoted service to the British monarchy.
Marking one of the most significant milestones in modern British royal history, this prestigious commemorative coin was struck in five troy ounces of fine 24ct gold, weighing an impressive 156.29 grams.
The coin features two exceptional portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, both designed by renowned British sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley exclusively for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The obverse depicts Her Majesty wearing the ceremonial robes of the Order of the Garter and Queen Mary's Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, while the reverse presents a magnificent enthroned portrait inspired by the historic Great Seals of British monarchs.
The reverse also bears the Latin inscription DILECTA REGNO, meaning 'I reign beloved', alongside the commemorative dates 1952–2012 in Roman numerals.
Strictly limited to just 250 coins, this particular example is individually numbered 002 of 250, representing an exceptionally early-numbered example of this distinguished commemorative release.
This remarkable coin forms part of a wider collection of historic and collectible precious metal coins acquired by Dobson Fine Jewellery, encompassing exceptional examples of British numismatic artistry and heritage.

Please note that this coin exhibits visible toning, including a noticeable area of discolouration on the Queen's ear within the obverse portrait.
Although originally struck to The Royal Mint's Proof standard, the coin is not being offered as being in uncirculated condition due to the toning present.
There may also be evidence of previous handling or exposure to atmospheric conditions, which can affect the appearance of the coin's original Proof surfaces.
We have taken care to disclose these observations accurately and transparently, ensuring prospective collectors are aware of the coin's condition prior to purchase.
Despite these considerations, the coin remains a significant limited-edition commemorative issue, distinguished by its substantial fine gold content, exceptionally low edition number and historical importance.
