Description: This 1960 5 Shillings coin is a great piece of history. Produced with precision by the Royal Mint at an exhibition in New York, this coin was used to showcase the skilled craftsmanship of its British makers. The coin’s design was by Mary Gillick, and features the young laureate portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II on the front. The reverse design is the four quarterings of the Royal Arms each contained in a shield and arranged in saltire with, in the intervening spaces, a rose, a thistle, a sprig of shamrock and a leek; in the centre the Crown and in the base the date. This uncirculated coin measures approximately 38.60mm diameter and weighs 28.28grams. It is made of copper-nickel. 1,024,038 were produced. Please see all photos.
