Kids project: Queen Elizebeth II coins

Today Kids Project will be Queen Elizebeth II coins. One of the longest reigning monarchs of the British. To anyone who is new to my blog, Kids Project is a suggestion from me, the best and cheap way to start collecting coin for your kids. This coin hunting project will only cost around 50 to 100 ringgit and you don't need to start with a big budget. You can give them a small budget every month and go out together for their coin hunting trip. You do not have to start with any budget at all with some of my Kids project. Most of them is a circulation coin that you can find in your pocket.

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; born 21 April 1926) is the queen regnant of sixteen independent states known informally as the Commonwealth realms: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. She are also acting as Head of the Commonwealth, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Duke of Normandy, Lord of Mann, and Paramount Chief of Fiji. That means you can find her face on coins in as many as over 50 country.

Elizabeth became Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon upon the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952. She is one of the longest-reigning British monarchs. Her reign of 57 years has seen sweeping changes, including the dissolution of the British Empire (a process that began before her accession) and the consequent evolution of the modern Commonwealth of Nations. As other British colonies gained independence from the United Kingdom, she became queen of several newly independent countries. She has been the sovereign of 32 individual nations, but half of them later became republics.
