The euro coin from Malta is dedicated to the platinum jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The motive shows the Jubilee emblem, which is surrounded by the inscription "Queen's Platinum Jubilee" and the denomination. The reverse shows the logo of the Central Bank of Malta, the mint mark and the year of issue. 70 years ago - on February 6, 1952 - Elizabeth II ascended the throne for the first time at the age of 25 and was crowned Queen on June 2, 1953 in Westminster Abbey. The ceremony, with the exception of the anointing and communion, was televised for the first time. Since then, Elizabeth II has been the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states known as "Commonwealth Realms," including their territories and dependent territories. She is also head of the 53-state Commonwealth of Nations and secular head of the Anglican Church of England. Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning monarch to date and the first to celebrate such an anniversary. The limited 2.5 euro coin for the platinum jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II is delivered in an illustrated blistercard, which was thematically coordinated with the throne jubilee. The obverse features a recent image of Queen Elizabeth in pink attire, while the reverse shows a photo of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip on their state visit to Malta in 1967 - the first state visit since Malta's independence.
