Unkown Coin

[Guest John]

Recieved this coin recently with no money value on it wondering if any one knows its worth

One side has Elizabeth II DG REG FD 1977 written around a lady riding a horse

And the other side has what looks like a stork with a crown above its head with a reef of leave going along the outside of the coin

Can Anyone Help?

It's a 1977 Silver Jubilee Crown with a face value of 25p. It's worth a pound or so if in mint condition....If not, 25p.

I don't know what you're refering to JMD.

I assume that they come from England unless the other one displays a different monarch.

well, i have two silver jubilee crowns of Eliz II, one of them is the one that john described, and the other has the crown jewled in the middle of the rev. with the words; Celebrating The Silver Jubilee Of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II - around it. on the obverse it has the queens head with the words; Silver 1952 1977 Jubilee H.M. Queen Elizabeth II - around it...i am wondering why there are two types that both seem to be english...

I have never heard of that coin before. Euston we have a mystery!

[Chris Perkins 228]

Hahahahahaha that's so funny!

Who's ever heard of mission control in EUSTON? It's HOUSTON, HPJ!

The one with the horse is a coin - a crown worth 25p if you spend it. The other one is a commemorative medal, which is probably worth more (depending on condition and metal) but you can't spend it.

Yes, just imagine. 'Charing Cross, we have a problem'!

Or, 'Are you receiving us Victoria'!!!

Sorry HPJ.

Sorry , I must of been thinking of Euston because I have just come from there!

Doh!

hmm...strange...

oh yea, it comes in plastic case, like you sometimes see patern 1937 Edward VIII crowns in, but it has 1952 - 1977 on top...i do not know much about it, it came from my aunts who passed away last year, so i cant really ask her...

[Geoff T 3]

Yes, it's a standard 1977 Silver Jubilee medal - like it says on both sides. The reverse has an orb in the middle surrounded by flower emblems of the UK (as on the plastic surround) and a crown at the top, plus the legend you quote. The obverse has HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II SILVER JUBILEE 1952-1977 on it. It's crown sized.

It's worth about £1-2.
