This collectable Royal Mint BUnc Five Pound coin was issued to celebrate the Sapphire Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II. In 2017, she reach the milestone of 65 years on the British throne, an accomplishment which has not been match by any other British monarch. She succeeded her father, King George VI in February 1952 when she on a royal engagement in the Protectorate of Kenya and was formally crowned at her coronation 16 months later in June 1953. On this limited edition coin, the engraver Glyn Davies places the Imperial State Crown at the centrepiece of the reverse, with a quote from the Queen's 21st birthday radio broadcast from Cape Town, South Africa placed to the left of it: 'MY WHOLE LIFE, WHETHER IT BE LONG OR SHORT, DEVOTED TO YOUR SERVICE'. On the outer ring of the traditional reverse design, Davies also put the lettering 'SAPPHIRE JUBILEE · 1952 - 2017'. His design is paired with Jody Clark's portrait of Her Majesty on the obverse, which is the fifth definitive UK coin image of her. The coin weighs 28.28 grams, measures 38.61 millimetres in diameter and is struck twice to give a brilliant uncirculated finish. It's housed in an officially approved Royal Mint coin sleeve, which includes colourful photographs and information about the Queen's Sapphire Jubilee.

Steeped in more than 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint supplies all of the United Kingdom's coinage as well as currency for nations around the world. Renown for craftsmanship and thoughtful design, The Royal Mint also produces commemorative coins, favoured by investors and collectors.

A Millennia of Minting

Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.

The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.

In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by Her Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.

Collecting and Investing

The Royal Mint's commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.

Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.

The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.
