Description
The Prince Philip Crown features a portrait of The Duke of Edinburgh designed by Ian Rank-Broadley The design of the coin was personally approved by the Prince in 2008.
The Royal Mint has created a set of coins to commemorate the 70 th wedding anniversary of the Queen and Prince Philip who were married on the 20 November 1947. On 20th November 1947, the King proudly led his daughter down the aisle, her beauty matched by the glamour of her Hartnell dress, intricately embroidered and adorned with thousands of tiny seed pearls and crystals.Another very interesting topic surrounding this coin is that it was minted in 1972, the year after decimalisation. The Duke of Edinburgh has stood by The Queen since the moment she began her reign, only retiring from public duty earlier this year at the age of 96.
This is interesting because a Crown had a face value of five shillings before decimalisation, and since the 1972 Silver Wedding crown was the first one to be minted post-decimalisation it had a face value of 25 pence instead. Conjoined portrait depicting HM Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh right, legend around.GOD SAVE THE QUEEN in the centre, surrounded by the words CORONATION JUBILEE, FIVE POUNDS and the anniversary date 2003. The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax(CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy. The Royal Mint at The Britannia Coin Company Sealed-For-Life Technology preserves these masterpieces in their original pristine state by encapsulating them in a sonically-sealed capsule.
