About this deal

The omission may have been partly historic, for reasons given above, or it may have been partly because crowns had not been part of the regular British coinage since about 1914, and the main purpose of the 1972 issue was as a commemorative piece, which was never primarily intended to circulate. The Platinum Wedding Anniversary 1947 Heritage Coin and Stamp Set with a silver 1972 crown – In 2017, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip celebrated their Platinum Wedding Anniversary. During his lifetime, HRH the Duke of Edinburgh was well-respected for his steadfast support to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and his public service. The farthing is the smallest denomination of the British pre-decimal system and the farthing in this eight-coin set features a well-loved Britannia design on the reverse of the coin. The Milestone Years of Queen Elizabeth II set takes a closer look at each of the key milestones of Her Majesty’s life and 70-year reign.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip toured the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, whilst many around the world lit beacons in commemoration of the occasion. Double portraits are rarely seen on the obverse of British coinage, with this being the first time since 2007 that it has occurred. During the Second World War, the threepence became a popular denomination with the public as its unique, 12-sided shape made it easy to identify during blackouts.Message us using our live chat feature (that's the green button, found at the bottom right of this page).

Their designs evoke fond memories of a time when twelve pennies made a shilling and twenty shillings made a pound.

Today, having lived with decimal currency for over half a century, that coinage system seems distant, but it’s worth remembering that pounds, shillings and pence had been in use for over a thousand years.

Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. In 1947 the Royal Mint removed all Silver from our coinage and it was now to be struck in cupro-nickel. The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment.

The obverse design is also by artist Arnold Machin, and features the elegant second official portrait of The Queen to be used on circulating UK coinage. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition. Britain had only just completed decimalisation in 1971, it may have been sensible, with hindsight, to have shown the new decimal equivalent - 25 New Pence - on this and subsequent crown issues. The four early Twenty-Five Pence designs, including this silver proof edition celebrating the silver wedding anniversary of Elizabeth and Philip, curiously do not display their denomination inscribed as other modern coins do.The crowned letters EP within a floral garland, the naked figure of Eros at the centre, legend and dates around. The Queen Elizabeth II Crown features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty The King, which received the monarch’s personal approval. Second crowned portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, legend around.
