Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation, which took place on June 2, 1953. The coin's design features a portrait of the Queen, which was created by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley, and is surrounded by an ornate border that includes the inscription "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F.D." (Elizabeth II, by the grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith). The coin's reverse side features a depiction of the St. Edward's Crown, which is the official coronation crown used in the coronation ceremony of British monarchs. The coin's gold content and proof finish add to its collectibility and value, making it a sought-after piece for coin collectors and enthusiasts.
