Falkland Islands, 1 crown, 2007.

In 2007 a series of collector coins carried a conjoint portrait of the Queen and Prince Philip, to commemorate their diamond wedding.

Falkland Islands, 1 crown, 2012.

A series of collector 'crown' coins commemorated the life of the Queen and the 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne.

The obverse showed effigies of the Queen when younger and older.

Falkland Islands, 5 pounds, 2013.  The 60th anniversary of the Queen's coronation.

The couped Ian Rank Broadley portrait of the Queen appeared on the obverse - the only year apart from 2006 in which this portrait appeared on collector design coins, but this time with a slightly different obverse legend.

Falkland Islands, 1 crown, 2016.  The Queen's 90th birthday.

This is a Pobjoy product, and you can see the Pobjoy 'PM' mintmark on the obverse.


This was the first appearance of what I call the 'fat face' portrait of the Queen on the coins of the Falkland Islands.

Numista says the portrait is the work of Ian Rank Broadley. Surely that cannot be true?

Falkland Islands, 1 crown, 2017.  Liberation commemorative.  This time the obverse has a countersunk inner circle - or so it would appear.

Falkland Islands, 50 pence, 2017.  Christmas.

2017 saw the first of those now notorious 50 pence penguin coins. They are collector coins only and do not circulate.

The obverse legend is different from that of the regular circulation 50 pence that carries that portrait of the Queen.
