Overview

Large commemorative coin featuring Queen Elizabeth II on horseback on the obverse and a floral motif with a crowned ampulla on the reverse.

Estimated value

$2 to $10 in circulated condition, $10 to $25 in uncirculated condition

What drives this coin's value

Overall condition and grade, presence of original packaging (like Royal Mint presentation folders), and presence of the uncommon proof version versus the standard circulation strike.

Grade assessment

About Uncirculated to Mint State (shows slight handling wear and some environmental verdigris spots on the obverse)

Mintage & rarity

Common; over 37 million circulation strikes were minted, in addition to proof versions.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check the weight (28.28g) and diameter (38.6mm). It should not stick to a magnet since it is copper-nickel. Counterfeits are rare due to the high mintage and low face value.

Notable varieties & errors

Both circulation strike and proof versions exist, as well as minor die varieties, though none command extreme premiums unless in pristine proof condition.

Similar coins

Other British commemorative crowns from the 20th century, such as the 1953 Coronation Crown or the 1965 Churchill Crown.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges using clean cotton gloves if possible. Store in a cool, dry place in an archival-safe coin holder or flip. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive cleaning methods, which will destroy the surface and ruin the numismatic value.
