1953 Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Commemorative Crown
This Celebration Crown was struck to commemorate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II
at Westminster Abbey on June 2nd 1953 on her accession to the throne

These superb 56 year old coins that I have unearthed are in
fantastic dull polished UNC ( uncirculated ) mint condition ( the best I have seen )
and if you are looking for one of these then dont miss this opportunity
and end up with a shabby one from elsewhere

Elizabeth II became Queen on her father's death in 1952, there being no sons.

A newly designed Crown coin was struck in 1953 to commemorate her Coronation.
There was much excitement around the country with street parties and the like
as this was the first opportunity since the war years for national celebration.
It was also the first occasion when such an event was widely televised and millions
huddled around televisions of the fortunate few who were able to afford such new technology
to witness the event live in front of their own eyes

Obverse
Designed by Gilbert Ledward shows the Queen on horseback facing left with a small crown over EIIR on either side.
The design has some similarities to earlier coins showing Monarch on horseback in particular the Charles I Crown
by Nicholas Briot which was the first machine made Silver Crown dating back to 1625 - 1649

Reverse
The reverse design, by E G Fuller and Cecil Thomas, shows the four shields with in between , the emblems of
England ( the Rose ) - Ireland ( The Shamrock ) - Wales ( the Leek ) and Scotland ( the Thistle )

Edge
The edge of the coin bears the legend
'FAITH AND TRUTH I WILL BEAR UNTO YOU'
