Struck in gold-plated copper to a proof finish, these large-scale medals are each housed in protective acrylic capsules. The obverse of the first medal features three portraits of the Queen at various ages with the legend “LONGEST REIGNING MONARCH H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH II”, while the second shows a single portrait within an oak leaf wreath inscribed “HEAD OF THE HOUSE OF WINDSOR HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II”. Both items share a reverse design featuring the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom and the text “H.M. QUEEN ELIZABETH II”. The lot is accompanied by two numbered certificates of authenticity carrying the serials “00192” and “00284” alongside product codes “917.317.5 NAT” and “917.317.6 NAT”. A technical specification leaflet printed in German and French identifies the material as “Cu vergoldet” and “Cuivre doré” with a limited mintage of “2.016” sets.
