An 'incredibly rare' coin made to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee has gone on sale for £50,000 online.
The late monarch - who passed away at the age of 96 last September - celebrated 70 years on the throne in June 2022.
To celebrate the occasion, Hattons of London created just 5,999 coins as part of their collector's item range.
In a nod to the 70-year anniversary, the coin was made using platinum gold, a unique alloy of 22 carat gold, and two carats of platinum.
The coin features the Queen's side profile on one side and an illustration of the goddess Artemis on the reverse.
