2023 Queen Elizabeth II In Memoriam: Affection for Corgis Medallion Cover

This limited-edition medallion cover celebrates the well-known and deep affection Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1926–2022) held for her dogs, particularly her Pembroke Corgis. This bond began on her 18th birthday when she was gifted her first corgi, Susan. Over the following decades, the Queen owned more than 30 descendants of Susan, creating a lineage that became synonymous with the Royal Household.

The connection remained until the very end, with her corgis Sandy and Muick poignantly appearing at Windsor Castle during Her Majesty's funeral procession to bid her a final farewell.
