1972 Queen Elizabeth Ii And Prince Philip Silver Wedding Anniversary Crown Appraisal

1972 Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip Silver Wedding Anniversary Crown

This is a British commemorative crown coin issued in 1972 to celebrate the 25th (Silver) Wedding Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The coin is struck in cupro-nickel with a diameter of approximately 38.61mm and a weight of 28.28 grams. The reverse side, shown here, features a stylized monogram of the initials 'E' and 'P' surmounted by a royal crown and surrounded by a floral arrangement of leaves and blossoms. Around the perimeter, the inscription reads 'ELIZABETH AND PHILIP - 20 NOVEMBER 1947 - 1972'. The coin exhibits a bright lustre consistent with uncirculated or lightly handled vintage condition, though minor surface contact marks and light field scratches are visible under magnification. The strike quality is sharp, showing high relief in the crown and monogram details. There is no evidence of significant corrosion or heavy cleaning, though a light natural patina is beginning to form. This piece was designed by Arnold Machin and produced by the Royal Mint, representing a popular era of British royal numismatic history.
