The long-awaited Platinum Jubilee medal design has finally been unveiled- and rather nice it is too!

Using the Ian Rank-Broadley obverse, the reverse depicts the very top of the Royal Coat of arms. The Lion Stattant Guardant stands atop a crowned Royal Armourial helmet surrounded by ermine.  The ribbon is a nod to Jubilee medals of the past with the silver edges from the 1977 medal, the blue from the Golden Jubilee of 2002 and the red from 2012.  It's expected that some 400,000 will be made
