| Additional information |
Raphael Maklouf's portrait of Elizabeth II — the third definitive effigy used on British coinage — was introduced in 1985 and remained current until 1998, when Ian Rank-Broadley's version superseded it. Pairing it here with Charles III on a commemorative platinum proof is an unusual curatorial move: the two monarchs never shared a circulation issue, and this denomination has no precedent in the working coinage of either reign.
