1953 Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Five Shilling Coin

This is a lovely 1953 Five Shilling Coin. It was made to commemorate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

It comes in a gift bag and would make a great collector’s item or present for someone who was born in 1953.

The coin has a pattern of four shields on one side with images of a shamrock, leek, thistle and rose to represent the Four countries of the United Kingdom. Around the leek it has 1953 imprinted.

On the reverse it has the Queen riding side saddle with Latin around the edge and five shillings.

The edge of the coin has “Faith and Truth I Will Bear Unto You”.
