The use of a Royal Cypher originates in the Commonwealth Realms, where the public use of the royal initials dates from the early Tudor period and is simply the initial of the Sovereign with the addition of the letter R for Rex or Regina. The Sovereign uses the same Cypher throughout all of his or her countries.
Queen Elizabeth II acceded to the throne at the age of 25, upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952, and was proclaimed Queen by her various privy and executive councils shortly afterward. The Coronation took place more than a year later due to the tradition that holding such a festival is inappropriate during the period of mourning following the death of a monarch. In the ceremony itself, at Westminster Abbey, Princess Elizabeth swore an oath to uphold the law and govern the Church of England.
Queen Elizabeth II became the longest reining monarch in 2015 when she overtook her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria. The recent death of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej means HM Queen Elizabeth II of Britain and the Commonwealth Realms has now become the world's longest-reigning living monarch.
This striking coin features the Royal Cypher of Queen Elizabeth II in honor of the first ever Sapphire Jubilee of a British Monarch!
