This is an incredible coin, with a diameter of 65 mm and 156g of .9999 gold.<br /> <br /> Ian Rank-Broadley, well known for his portraits of the Queen, designed both the obverse and reverse of this coin. The obverse is a brand new portrait and shows Her Majesty wearing her garter robes and a tiara which was given to her by Queen Mary.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7689" src="https://coinsnotebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2012-Gold-Ten-Pounds-Diamond-Jubilee-5oz-Obverse-1024x1015.jpg" alt="2012 Gold Ten Pounds Diamond Jubilee 5oz Obverse" width="1024" height="1015" /><br><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The reverse shows the Queen sitting on a throne, facing front. The motto is <em>dilecta regno</em> which means 'I reign beloved'. The dates of her reign are shown in Roman numerals (1952-2012).<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7686" src="https://coinsnotebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2012-Gold-Ten-Pounds-Diamond-Jubilee-5oz-Reverse-1024x1005.jpg" alt="2012 Gold Ten Pounds Diamond Jubilee 5oz Reverse" width="1024" height="1005" /><br><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The £10 coin has a proof finish and had a limited mintage of only 250. The coin was issued in a wooden veneer box with a blue card outer box. It has a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and a souvenir booklet.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-7687" src="https://coinsnotebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2012-Gold-Ten-Pounds-Diamond-Jubilee-5oz-Box-1024x929.jpg" alt="2012 Gold Ten Pounds Diamond Jubilee 5oz Box" width="1024" height="929" /><br><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The only other British Monarch to have celebrated a diamond jubilee is Queen Victoria.
