The coin from the Royal Canadian Mint bears on its reverse a coloured design by Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, with two crossed maple branches tied with a ribbon, bearing the inscription "VIVAT REGINA" ("Long Live the Queen"). The coronation crowns of Queen Elizabeth II (left) and Queen Victoria (right), along with their monograms, are stamped into the upper half of the coin. The motif is complemented by the inscription "2015 CANADA" and the artist's initials. On the obverse is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt along with the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "D.G.REGINA", the denomination and the artist's initials.

The Royal Australian Mint completes the set with a coin designed by Brownyn King. Its reverse depicts the emblem of Queen Elizabeth II beneath a coronation crown surrounded by the inscriptions "LONGEST REIGNING COMMONWEALTH MONARCH" and a composition of flowers and ornaments. The obverse shows a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, accompanied by the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA', the denomination, the year of issue and the artist's initials.

Queen Elizabeth II.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II(Elizabeth Alexandra Mary), English Elizabeth II, (21 April 1926, Mayfair, London - 8 September 2022 Balmoral Castle, Scotland) was the reigning Queen of the independent states known as the Commonwealth Realm. With variations, these were Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, Canada, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

In each of these countries she was considered the monarch of a separate state, and the performance of royal duties for each country was separate. She was also head of the Commonwealth and supreme head of the Church of England. Despite her large number of common law offices, she rarely interfered in politics.

Elizabeth became Queen of Great Britain on the death of her father George VI on 6 February 1952. The long period of her reign saw the dissolution of the British Empire (a process already begun under her father) and the subsequent creation of the Commonwealth. After the British colonies gained independence, she became Queen of several newly independent countries. Some of them later changed their status to republic.

Elizabeth married Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947, with whom she had four offspring.

In 2022, Elizabeth II celebrated the platinum anniversary of her reign as the longest reigning monarch in British history.
