Made
to honour..........
Following the announcement of the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince
Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on 9 April 2021, many reflected that his was a
life well lived. A man of action and significant achievements, Prince
Philip became a naval commander at a young age and provided steadfast
counsel to Her Majesty The Queen throughout her reign. When his young wife
first took on the role as monarch, the newly titled Duke of Edinburgh
supported her, showing tireless dedication to his duty. This exemplary
service was recognised by The Queen at the time of their 70th wedding
anniversary in 2017, when he was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the
Royal Victorian Order (GCVO). In honour of this remarkable man, The Royal
Mint has created a coin to celebrate his life and legacy. The design
features a portrait created by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS that was personally
approved by The Duke of Edinburgh. |
