Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Her Diamond jubilee ( 60th in this case) is coming up in June.
2nd June 2013 will be the 60th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. However she became monarch on 6th February 1952, so 2012 will be her diamond jubilee.

There are usually only three. So far, Queen Elizabeth II has celebrated a Silver Jubilee (in 1977, marking her 25th year on the throne), a Golden Jubilee (in 2002, a 50th year observance) and a Diamond Jubilee (in 2012, for her 60th year as queen). A Diamond Jubilee normally would be held for the 75th anniversary of a monarch's reign, but an arrangement was made to honor Queen Victoria in 1897 for her 60th year on the throne. Queen Elizabeth II is the only other British queen to observe a Diamond Jubilee. According to Katie Couric of ABC News, Queen Elizabeth would celebrate a Platinum Jubilee if she is still Britain's monarch in 2022.

Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee (50th) in 1887 and her Diamond Jubilee (60th) in 1897. British gold and silver coins minted from 1887 to 1893 feature what is known as the "Jubilee bust" of Queen Victoria. She is shown as much older than previous images and has a veil and a small crown.
