The photograph featured on the left side of the coin shows Queen Elizabeth I as she walks off a plane back into the United Kingdom on February 8, 1952, after hearing of the death of her father King George VI while she was on her first tour of Kenya. This would have been one of the first times that the British public would have seen their new monarch. The photograph featured on the right side of coin shows Queen Elizabeth Il as she greets crowds outside Windsor Castle in Berkshire as she celebrates her 90th birthday - the year after she became Britain's longest reigning monarch in 2015. The photographs are divided by a sceptre entwined with sprigs of oak inspired by the House of Windsor Crest, with St Edward's crown, the official coronation crown featured at both ends and the shield of the Royal Coat of Arms in the centre.
