The Queen's 95th birthday will be celebrated on one of five new commemorative coins released this year, the Royal Mint has said.

The new British coin collection for 2021 will also commemorate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott, and the 75th anniversary of the death of science fiction author HG Wells.
