Description
The fortieth anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was celebrated in 1993 with the issue of this crown sized five pound face value coin. The obverse design shows Her Majesty uncrowned, in the same way that she appeared on the coins of Her coronation year, encircled by mounted trumpeters separated by swords and sceptres of the Royal Regalia.
The reverse side shows St. Edward’s crown at the centre of 40 radiating trumpets, recalling the splendour of the Coronation ceremony. This coin was never issued for circulation – it exists only in issues intended for collectors.
