Britain has a unique tradition wherein the reigning monarch actually celebrates two birthdays each year. April 21^st is the Queen’s official birthday, but she celebrates this date in private with her family. During the reign of King George II in 1748, it was decided to merge the King’s birthday with the Trooping the Colours military parade. This was done to accommodate a public celebration in better weather. George II’s birthday was in October, but the British weather is often inhospitable come the fall months. This continues into the 21^st century, with Elizabeth II celebrating her birthday publicly during the Trooping the Colours ceremony each June.

The obverse side of 2021 1/4 oz Proof Australian HM Queen Elizabeth II 95^th Birthday Gold Coins features an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II designed in July 2015 by Jody Clark.
