1992 United Kingdom Five Pence Coin
This is a United Kingdom five pence coin dated 1992, featuring the third circulating portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Raphael Maklouf. This specific version is the smaller, lighter cupro-nickel coin (75% copper, 25% nickel) that was introduced in 1990 to replace the larger decimal five pence. The obverse depicts the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and earrings, with the Latin inscription 'ELIZABETH II D·G·REG·F·D·1992' surrounding the bust. The coin has a diameter of approximately 18mm and a weight of 3.25 grams with a milled edge. The condition appears to be in circulated grade with visible surface wear, minor scratches, and a dulling of the original luster characteristic of metallic objects in high circulation. There are no major gouges or deformations present, but the fine details of the crown and hair show typical smoothing from use. This specimen represents a standard piece of British currency from the late 20th century, manufactured by the Royal Mint at Llantrisant, Wales.
