Description
A 1960 Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Crown Five Shillings Coin, a British large-diameter coin. The obverse features a profile bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, encircled by the legend «ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F.D. FIVE SHILLINGS». The reverse displays a cruciform arrangement of four national shields (England, Scotland, Ireland, and a fourth depicting two lions), with the date «1960» visible at the bottom left. The coin is composed of a silver-toned metal, likely a cupronickel alloy. An accompanying paper note, dated «1/10/65» and signed «C. W. HILL», identifies it as a «1960. Crown» and provides historical context regarding its mintage for the British Exhibition in New York.
