| Reverse description | A bold, large numeral '70' dominates the entire field, rendered in a modern graphic style with contrasting matte and polished surfaces to represent the Platinum Jubilee. Within the bowl of the numeral '0', the Royal Cypher 'E II R' surmounted by the Tudor Crown is displayed prominently, below which the regnal dates '1952–2022' are inscribed. The engravers' initials AR DO appear in the lower exergue. The design was created by Andrew Ross and Deborah Osborne. |

| Additional information |
The Platinum Jubilee marked 70 years of Elizabeth II's reign — the longest of any British monarch and the only time in British history the milestone had been reached. The Royal Mint issued an unusually broad range of commemorative denominations for the occasion, from circulating fifty pences to gold proofs, reflecting both the commercial appetite and the genuine historical weight of the anniversary. Elizabeth died in September 2022, just months after these pieces entered the market.
