The Royal Mint will mark the 65th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne with a range of coins including a design by the Bishop of St Asaph.
The specially designed Sapphire Jubilee commemorative coins will be available in denominations of £5, £10, £500 and £1,000.
The recommended retail prices for the commemorative coins range from £13 for the brilliant un-circulated £5 piece to £49,995 for the £1,000 UK gold proof kilo.
The Royal Mint is to mark the 65th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne with a range of specially designed Sapphire Jubilee commemorative coins.
Bishop Gregory Cameron designed the £10, £500 and £1,000 coins which feature the royal coat of arms on the reverse.
The bishop is a keen coin collector himself.
He said: "The arms in my design are shown in an oval cartouche, surrounded by flourishes that reflect the celebratory mood of the coin.
"The shield is supported by two branches. On the left, as we look at the shield, is the olive branch, a symbol of faithfulness and reconciliation, and on the right, a branch of oak, representing stability and loyalty in service.
"These are all qualities that we can associate with Her Majesty."
