Issued to mark the 70th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip — the first platinum wedding anniversary celebrated by a reigning British monarch — this piece was part of a broader commemorative program that also included gold and platinum strikes. The anniversary fell on November 20, 2017, exactly seven decades after the 1947 Westminster Abbey ceremony.
