| Reverse description | Full-colour photographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, depicted in formal ceremonial attire against a gold-plated background of radiating Gothic tracery reminiscent of Westminster Abbey's rose window. The Queen is shown wearing a tiara, pearl necklace, blue sash, and state decorations, while Prince Philip is attired in evening dress adorned with military medals and orders. The legend PLATINUM 70 WEDDING arcs across the lower portion of the field in large gilt numerals and letters. The combination of colour printing and gold plating creates a striking commemorative design marking the couple's 70th wedding anniversary. |
