Elizabeth II was not originally expected to inherit the throne, but the abdication of her uncle, King Edward VIII, in 1936 placed her father on the throne and made her the heir presumptive. During World War II, she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, where she trained as both a driver and a mechanic. In 1947, she married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark, and together they had four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward.

The obverse of the 2026 Proof Niue Silver Queen Elizabeth II 100th Anniversary Coin comes with a portrait of Her Late Majesty. Elizabeth became queen on February 6, 1952, after the death of her father, and she was formally crowned on June 2, 1953. She passed away on September 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96. Her reign lasted more than 70 years, from 1952 to 2022, and included major changes in Britain and around the world. Over that time, she also witnessed the British Empire’s shift into the modern Commonwealth of Nations.
