A pair of commemorative plates produced by the Tower Mint, London, commissioned exclusively for passengers of the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2. The plates are struck in a yellow-toned metal, likely bronze or a brass alloy, using hand-polished dies. Each plate features a central medallion depicting the profile of the ship, inscribed with the text QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 and THE GREATEST SHIP IN THE WORLD. The metal surfaces retain an original finish with visible areas of oxidation and tarnish. The items are housed in their original blue textured presentation boxes, and one is accompanied by its original Certificate of Authenticity confirming production by the Tower Mint.
Diameter: 5 inches.
