End of an era. She graced many a coin. 96 yrs young born April 21, 1926. Please post a coin from 1926 in memorandum with a moment of silence.

May She RIP
I don’t have 1926 so I post this instead.
I don't believe I have a coin from 1926, but I do have this-
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Quite a full life…RIP
Seeing “King Charles III” on the currency will be jarring….

RIP.....
My heart goes out to the Royal Family & British citizens. I'm not a fanatic of the monarchy, but appreciate the stability & grace she brought her country for 70 years.
2023 will be an interesting year for Darkside coinage. Will the UK, Canada & others try to issue new coins this year as in 1947 with a special privy mark (i.e. Maple Leaf, etc) with either a 2022 or 2023 date? How long would it usually take to create the dies & mint new coins for circulation? Or do you think the various Mints already have them in place & just need to tweak the date & let the presses rip?
Personally, I'd like to see now-King Charles abdicate the throne in favor of his son, but I doubt he'd do it (or at least not right away) after waiting all this time for his place in history & face on coinage. But maybe once that's done, he won't hang onto the throne as long as his Mom? Makes for interesting possibilities in the next few years for Commonwealth coinage!
That is an amazing coin. Outstanding!!

Sad day. I did not realize her death would have such a profound effect on me. I felt I lost a close family member. I always admired her all my life. Rest In Peace.

Great question, albeit as another thread

This BVI coin has her with the Peace and Morgan Dollars. I have a lot of coins with her on the Obverse/Reverse, wonder which one will be considered her last coin?

RIP, you'll be missed
This LIFE issue from 1953 with the Queen and her coronation happened to be the issue that featured Eliasberg. Rather appropriate for these boards.

A life very well lived. She was an example for all of us on how to live.

oops! Of course, you are correct!

She is the epidemy of service, duty and class. Seventy years on the throne through the best and worst of times. In all of that, never was service, duty or class forgotten. A true role model.
I have a pair of these that were given to me from a family member that visited Bermuda in 2005.

What was the very first coin to use her image?

We have just lost one of the most respected persons worldwide I believe.
When I think of true class and dignity, Queen Elizabeth II is the first person that comes to mind. She has served as an outstanding example to her country and the world for 70 years.
May she rest in peace, her legacy will not soon be forgotten!
