    Here are three different portraits of the Queen, from some 1984 coins and medals:

    I believe Canada began using the second portrait in 1965, and continued using it through 1989.

    My Adolph A. Weinman signature :)

    A double portrait. Two for the price of one.

    IMHO, perhaps the very best portrait of them all, by Machin and extremely high relief from the 1977 Jubilee year
    Purchased for a princely 20 dollars on ebay about 3 years ago (88 gms. silver)

    Amazing! Also, good find!

    A lot better there Sir. Thanks. Of note you too can have this one off ebay for a mere 12,500 USD! That is crazy but a beautiful bust of QE II in any case.

    Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
    Well, just Love coins, period.
