Celebrate the Latest Chapter in a Remarkable Story

Through the years, Her Majesty The Queen has given the nation so many special moments and milestones to celebrate. The Royal Mint is proud to have been there for every anniversary and so many other happy occasions for the growing Royal Family. Now, they pay tribute to a remarkable woman and her remarkable reign with a £5 coin – a traditional ‘crown’ – to mark this latest achievement.

Struck in the year of the sapphire anniversary of The Queen’s coronation and year-dated, this coin is a lasting reminder of this rare moment in British and royal history. The Sapphire Coronation coin features an exclusive design created by Stephen Taylor, who also created a reverse design for the Longest Reigning Monarch collection in 2015. For this occasion, he has turned to heraldry for his inspiration.

Every detail of his design is finished to Brilliant Uncirculated standard, a finer finish than the coins we use every day. Each coin is presented in a display folder, where you can read the story of the celebrations 65 years ago and find out more about the specially created design.
