These proof coins display a strong contrast between frosted design elements and mirrored background fields. The limited mintage of just 2,026 coins marks the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth in 1926.

Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926, to Prince Albert, Duke of York, and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Her early years were relatively private, as she was not originally expected to become queen. That changed in 1936 when King Edward VIII abdicated the throne, placing her father on the throne as King George VI and making Elizabeth the heir presumptive.

The obverse of the 2026 Proof Congo Gold 100th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth II Coin features the national coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This design includes a central stone base with a leopard’s head above it. On either side of the leopard are an elephant tusk and a spear, representing strength and heritage.

On the reverse of the 2026 1/2 Gram Proof Gold 100th Birthday of Queen Elizabeth II Coin is a right-profile portrait of a young Queen Elizabeth II. She is shown wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The design also includes the dual dates of 1926 and 2026 to mark the 100th anniversary of her birth.
