The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II used on British and Commonwealth coins changes periodically. The Fourth Portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley has been in use since 1998 and depicts Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara rather than a crown. The only Queen Elizabeth II coins that show her wearing something resembling a crown, a "Diadem", were the Third Portrait coins issued from 1985 to 1997.

"The Rainbow" portrait of Queen Elizabeth I was painted around 1600 by Isaac Oliver, who was a pupil of the famous court painter, Nicholas Hilliard. There is a suggestion by some that Isaac's brother in law, Marcus Gheeraerts the younger, may have painted this picture, but the majority of historians view it as Oliver's work. The portrait can be seen at Hatfield House, England.
