A United Kingdom 2012 five pound (£5) crown coin issued by The Royal Mint to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin is struck in cupro-nickel and is presented in its original Royal Mint illustrated presentation pack. The visible face of the coin features the reverse design by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting a young portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in coronation robes, inspired by the 1839 Una and the Lion coin design. It bears the Latin inscription DIR IGE DEVS GRESSVS MEOS and the date 2012. The obverse, featuring the standard fourth definitive portrait of the Queen, is not visible as it is mounted within the card packaging. This commemorative issue was released to mark sixty years of the Queen’s reign.
Condition report:
The coin remains in brilliant uncirculated condition as issued by the mint. The original illustrated presentation pack is intact; however, the protective plastic sleeve exhibits minor surface scuffing and a small patch of white adhesive residue to the bottom-left corner.
