Official UK 2026 The Life of Queen Victoria BU £5 Pack

In 2026, Britain marks 125 years since the passing of Queen Victoria, one of the nation’s most influential monarchs.

To honour this milestone, The Royal Mint has released a new UK £5 coin.

The Design

The design features two portraits of Victoria - from an 18-year-old princess to the revered 83-year-old queen who helped shape modern Britain.

Struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated finish, the coin also includes intricate details such as the Royal Orb and lace inspired by her wedding dress.

Exquisite Packaging 

From the age of just 13, Queen Victoria kept meticulous personal journals, documenting her private reflections, daily experiences, and the pivotal moments that defined her reign.

As a special addition, each coin is accompanied by carefully selected excerpts from these journals, offering a rare insight into the thoughts and character of this remarkable monarch. This exclusive packaging elevates the £5 coin into a truly meaningful keepsake.

Securing yours

Own this official Royal Mint issue at the standard price (+p&p) and commemorate the life and legacy of a queen who helped shape modern Britain.
