| Aanvullende informatie |
Released as part of a broader commemorative program issued in the final months of Elizabeth II's life, this piece appeared while the Queen was still on the throne — she died in September 2022, making the entire "Queen's Reign" series a de facto retrospective rather than the celebratory issue the Mint had intended. The honours system it references dates to medieval origins but was substantially reorganized under the Order of the British Empire, established by George V in 1917 specifically to recognize civilian contributions during the First World War.
