| Reverse description | The crowned Royal Arms displayed in an ornate quartered shield, featuring the three passant guardant lions of England in the first and fourth quarters, the rampant lion of Scotland in the second quarter, and the harp of Ireland in the third quarter. The shield is supported by an elaborate mantle with decorative knotted ribbons, surmounted by the imperial crown. The Garter motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE encircles the shield on a foliate ribbon, with the commemorative regnal dates 1952 and 2022 displayed in the exergue on either side, and the engraver's initials JB at lower right of the shield. |

| Additional information |
The Platinum Jubilee marked 70 years of Elizabeth II's reign — the longest of any British monarch and, by June 2022, already shadowed by her declining health. She died in September of that year, making this among the final commemorative issues struck in her honor before her death rather than after it. The Royal Mint had been producing jubilee coinage since the Silver Jubilee of 1977, but no previous issue carried that particular weight of finality.
