Her Majesty on the year of her 95th birthday. Paired with a special four-effigy obverse that marks the occasion, the tiara-themed reverse is "dripping" with mother of pearl and sparkling Swarovski ¨ crystals.

The Lover's Knot Tiara
This famous tiara is also known as Queen Mary's Lover's Knot Tiara, for it was Queen Mary who commissioned it from the House of Garrard in 1913. Modelled after the original Cambridge Lover's Knot Tiara worn by her grandmother and aunt, Queen Mary's version of the tiara is made from diamonds and pearls that once adorned the Ladies of England Tiara. The regalheadpiece was passed down to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1953; it was later loaned to Diana, Princess of Wales, and has been frequently worn by HerRoyal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge.
