Elizabeth II did not start out as the expected heir, but the abdication of her uncle King Edward VIII in 1936 altered the succession and placed her father on the throne. As a result, Elizabeth became heir presumptive. During World War II, she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, training as a driver and as a mechanic. She later married Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark in 1947, and together they had four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward.
The obverse of the 2026 Proof Silver Niue Queen Elizabeth II 100th Anniversary Coin features a portrait of Her Late Majesty. She became queen on February 6, 1952, following her father’s death, and her coronation took place on June 2, 1953. Elizabeth died on September 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at the age of 96. Her reign lasted more than 70 years, from 1952 to 2022, making it the longest in British history. Over those decades, she saw enormous changes in Britain and across the globe, including the transition from the British Empire to the modern Commonwealth of Nations.
On the reverse of 2026 1 oz Proof Silver 100th Anniversary of Her Majesty’s Birth Coins is the Public Seal of Niue. The coat of arms showcases native flora at the center, framed by a ring of seashells. Resting above the shells is a Sovereign crown, reflecting Niue’s connection to the Commonwealth.
