A £5 coin has also been designed to celebrate the life and legacy of the Queen Mother. The 2025 commemorative sets will be available in a range of precious metal and base proof finishes, from January 2 via the Royal Mint website, with prices starting from £39.50.
Each of the coins will be available individually during 2025.
