As well as the commemorative collection, the Royal Mint Museum is also hosting a unique coin display at its Wales HQ in celebration of the anniversary. To illustrate a timeline of British queens, a selection of impressive historic coins has been curated, from the silver groat issued during Queen Mary’s reign (the first example of a female monarch being depicted on coinage) to ‘Una and the Lion’, portraying Victoria herself on what is often described as one of the most beautiful coins in the world.
