The Queen is depicted wearing a pearl necklace and drop earrings with her characteristic coiffure, while Prince Philip appears in a suit and tie. The Pobjoy Mint mintmark 'PM' appears in small letters beneath the Queen's effigy. The circular legend around the periphery reads 'SOUTH GEORGIA & SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS 2007', engraved by Robert Elderton. |

| Additional information |
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands — a British Overseas Territory with no permanent civilian population — issues commemorative coinage primarily as a revenue mechanism, with pieces never entering any local circulation economy. The Diamond Wedding issue marks sixty years of the Queen's marriage to Prince Philip, who held a particular connection to the territory through his role as a patron of the South Georgia Heritage Trust.
KM#38a is the silver proof variant; a cupro-nickel circulation strike was produced alongside it as KM#38.
