Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, which took place on June 2, 1953. The coin's design features a portrait of the Queen on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts a representation of the St. Edward's Crown, which is the official coronation crown used in the coronation ceremony of British monarchs. The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
