Collectible coins - Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip 1947 - 1972 Silver wedding crown

Product Information

The Royal Mint celebrated the longest royal marriage in British history with a collection of coins, struck for the occasion. This Pre-Owned 1972 Elizabeth and Philip Silver Proof Crown Coin was issued to commemorate the 25th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Despite being produced in their millions and being available at face value from most post offices and banks, the ordinary business strike was a Royal Mint commemorative issue and not intended for general circulation. In celebration of their wedding, this collection includes a full set of the British coins from their wedding year, 1947, along with the stamps and crown coin issued to commemorate their first major wedding anniversary in 1972. If you'd prefer to visit us in person, we've got secure, private meeting rooms in our offices at 29 High Street, Royal Wootton Bassett, SN4 7AE.

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. Also, for the first time in modern times, the obverse did not incorporate a date, but merely bore the Queen's name and titles surrounding her portrait.If your product is not a graded coin and is considered a bullion item, it should be noted that these are bought and sold on low premiums over their precious metal content and not solely for aesthetic purposes; therefore, some products may have edge knocks and/or marks. It may be more relevant to ask why it is necessary for most modern coins to carry a statement of their value. 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. Deeply rooted in the emotions of the British public, our collection weaves together coins from pivotal moments in Her Majesty’s remarkable life.

This silver Twenty Pound edition features a one-off double portrait of the Queen and her Consort, both facing right.It also allows us to track which visits and sales were generated from our advertising spend on ad networks such as Google Ads and Facebook ads.
