The Queen Mother turned 100 on August 4, 2000, making her one of the longest-lived British royal figures on record. Pobjoy Mint struck this issue under license for the Isle of Man, as they did for dozens of small-territory commemoratives throughout the 1990s and 2000s — a business model that flooded the market with silver proofs tied to royal milestones, most of which never circulated and remain plentiful in original packaging.
