Queen Elizabeth II
Gold Sovereigns
|
The reign of Elizabeth (1952 - ), is long enough to prompt five distinctive
portraits thus far.
These depict her as a young woman on her ascension to the throne, as a more regal young ruler in
1974, as an confident monarch in 1985 and as an elderly ruler in 1998.
The 1989 single year issue depicts the en robed monarch seated on a throne
The reverse is the scene of St. George slaying the dragon, for 1989 it was a Tudor Rose, for 2002
a shield motif and for 2005 a "Harry Potter" type of St George.
