1953 Elizabeth II Great Britain Silver Coronation Crown MS66

Description

This 1953 Great Britain Crown was issued to commemorate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and features the elegant equestrian design of the young monarch riding side-saddle. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA BRITT OMN REGINA FIDEI DEFENSOR, with the denomination FIVE SHILLINGS below, reflecting its traditional crown value.

Graded PCGS MS66, this example displays exceptional mint state preservation with strong detail across the portrait and horse, along with bright surfaces and impressive overall eye appeal. Coronation Crowns are an important part of modern British commemorative coinage, marking the beginning of Elizabeth II’s historic reign, and high-grade certified examples such as this are particularly desirable to collectors.
