The post I wrote when Queen Elizabeth died was brief, almost pithy, but hidden in it was deep sorrow, as someone I respected--and whom my formerly-British grandmother adored--was gone.
The Royal Mint, and mints around the world, started putting out commemorative coins. I picked out two to purchase, one from the Royal Mint and one from the Royal Canadian Mint. The one from the Royal Mint arrived today:
This set with the coin and the stamps has a production quantity of 20,000 and, according to the mint's web site, is no longer available.
The Canadian set should arrive in late March and has a mintage of 7,500.
