The year 2022 marks the 70th year of the reign of the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth. To celebrate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, thousands of special mementos including tea cups, utensils and plates were created. However, a typo in the memento is now proving to be a costly mistake for all. According to a BBC report, more than 10,000 cups, tea sets and plates were manufactured along the line “The Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II”.

The memento also features a depiction of the Queen, surrounded by her coat of arms and the year of her accession – from 1952 to the present 2022.
