Issued the year of Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, this Falkland Islands crown is one of dozens of commemorative pieces the territory produced under its royal warrant to strike collector-oriented coinage — a revenue stream that became significant after the 1982 conflict drew international attention to the islands. The Queen Mother herself had died a decade earlier, in March 2002, making this a retrospective tribute rather than a contemporary one.
The Order of the Garter, founded by Edward III in 1348, is the oldest continuously active order of chivalry in England.
