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.
