The Design:

The reverse re-creates the central design element from the modern sapphire tiara worn by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Flanked by engraved flourishes that highlight the intricacy of the tiara design, the arrangement of precious stones features 28 diamonds that surround four elegantly shaped sapphires. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
