London: The UK’s Royal Mint has announced that it will commemorate Queen Elizabeth-II’s 95th birthday with a new 5-pound coin, the media reported. On April 21, Queen Elizabeth-II will become the first UK monarch to turn 95-years-old, the BBC reported.

Royal Mint in its statement said the commemorative coin will depict the royal cypher “EIIR” (“EIIR” stands for “Elizabeth II Regina”) above the words “my heart and my devotion”, in reference to a part of her first-ever televised Christmas broadcast in 1957.

The 2021 coin collection will also mark the 250th birth anniversary of novelist Walter Scott, and the 75th death anniversary of author HG Wells. Scott, who wrote the novels “Waverley”, “Rob Roy” and “Ivanhoe” and is considered as one of Scotland’s most famous figures, will be celebrated with a 2 pound coin.

Meanwhile, Wells, who wrote “The Time Machine” and “The War Of The Worlds”, will be commemorated also on a 2 pound coin, with a depiction of images from the two novels.
