I had a crown from the year of the coronation, 1953. Don't know what happened to it.
So did the Queen  :-[

I have just given my grandson a 1977 Silver Jubilee Crown.

I looked online and the range of values for them is amazing.  Mine was not "mint" however, but MAY be worth £4 on a good day! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;)

My Mum gave my son one of these though dated 1889 .... 101 year before he was born! She was given it as a young girl & despite her Dad wanting her to bank it, kept it. There even seems to be loads of them despite how old they are, not sure whether their present day value is more or less than the original 5/- :-\ :-\


If it is in "Mint" or at least "Very Fine" condition they can be worth up to about £150.  They are lovely coins, and a piece of history 8) :y

I think the term is 'commensurate with age'  ;D ;D You'd not want to carry a couple of quids worth of them in your pocket ... they're big, heavy coins.  ;D

With being born in the year of the coronation I also got a silver spoon in a blue velvet box. Don't know what happened to that either.
