Silver Kilo 2012 Diamond Jubilee, Coin from United Kingdom
CoinSilver Kilo 2012 Diamond Jubilee

Like many other mints, the Royal Mint issues bullion coins in precious metals, having much higher intrinsic value than their face value. Most of these by tradition are measured in troy ounces of fractions thereof, but the mint also introduced metric coins measuring one kilogram of pure metal (they are actually fractionally heavier as a whole, to account for the small amount of other metal in the alloy).

The 1 kg silver coins are denominated as Five Hundred Pounds (£500), although their intrinsic (bullion) value is much higher than their face value. The coins vary in design depending on the occasion (they are "one-year" types usually issued in parallel with smaller denominations with the same reverse designs).

The coins are legal tender but are not intended for circulation. They are targeted at bullion investors or collectors who appreciate the special editions as pieces of art.

This commemorative 1kg silver coin was issued to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee (60th anniversary of the accession to the throne) of Queen Elizabeth II.

Both sides of the coin were designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, the author of the Queen's Fourth definitive portrait.

Obverse
United Kingdom / Silver Kilo 2012 Diamond Jubilee - obverse photo

The obverse shows a commemorative bust of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara and the robes of the Order of the Garter, facing right. The portrait is inspired by the sculpture mounted in the entrance to the Supreme Court building on Parliament Square in London.

Around above, divided by the tiara, the monarch's legend ELIZABETH · II · D · G REG · F · D ·; translated from Latin: Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith. Following the legend, around right, are the value and denomination FIVE POUNDS.

The artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley) are in the lower left of the Queen's robe.

The obverse shows a full achievement of the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom - based on those mounted on the front gate of Buckingham Palace in London, surrounded by a wreath of palm branches. A badge with St George and the dragon is suspended from the brooch holding the palm branches.

Below, divided by the badge, the date of issue 2012.

The artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley) are in relief under the badge of St George.
