Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926 as Elizabeth Alexandra Mary of the House of Windsor in London. On 6 February 1952, at the age of just 25, she ascended to the throne and was crowned Queen on 2 June 1953 in Westminster Abbey. She served as constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states known as the Commonwealth Realms, including their territories and dependencies, Head of the Commonwealth of Nations consisting of 53 member states, and Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Queen Elizabeth II. was the longest-reigning monarch in British history and the first monarch ever to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. She passed away at the age of 96 surrounded by close family members at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Following her death, her son King Charles III succeeded to the throne. With a worldwide strictly limited mintage of only 100 pieces, the **Queen Elizabeth II 1/4 oz Gold Coin featuring unpublished portraits by Raphael Maklouf** is an exceptionally exclusive issue with outstanding historical and artistic significance. The coin is delivered in the original box including a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
