Platinum Jubilee Medal

The Culture Secretary has unveiled the design of the medal to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next year. The design features a portrait of Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Crest.

Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said:

‘Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is a wonderful opportunity to recognise the dedication and service of those who, like the Queen, tirelessly serve our country.

From the troops who serve overseas to the emergency services workers at home who run towards danger when others would flee, we are honoured to have such dedicated and professional public servants who keep us safe’

2022 is an opportunity for us to come together as a nation to celebrate and say thank you to Her Majesty and all those who work so hard to make Britain Great.

The history of awarding medals to mark Royal Jubilee’s dates back to the Victorian period when the first medal was awarded to mark the 50th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s reign.
