so hello fellow coin collect this is a Glenn back of another video and today is
UK Wednesday or your Western safe depends on what I feel like doing and
today we're looking at the mine and 53 crown you can tell so 1953 crown because
that's 1953 then if we compare it to just got to get coin yup that people
recognize if you got a 20 cent coin so he is the actual 20 cent coin as you can
see is quite large it's a larger than a 50 cent coin so you get a 50 cent coin
yup here you go so this would have equal to
one crown and 50 cent and a pre-decimal series and so as you can see it's
actually quite a large coin but it actually didn't circulate it's a copper
nickel coin and this one celebrates the Queen's coronation so queen elizabeth ii
is coronation so we'll have a look at this side first so here we have the coat
of arms of Scotland we have England and Ireland oh she actually replaced one
decent Wales and make Wales instead of a like a province of England or whatever
fiefdom of England just make its own Kingdom and then we have des Plantes
actually has a plan of all of UK so it's got heroes from England the vessel for
Scotland the clover for Ireland and the lake for Wales in the middle it has a
crown the Edwardian crown and this side was designed by Cecil Thomas so that's
pretty simple all the crowns I'm not all the Crown's have the coat of arms
usually two half crown actually has the coat of arms and the crown usually had
the
st. George and the lion generally but since they stopped issuing those crowns
in 1900 there's only actually been commemorative coins since so e is
actually 38.6 one millimeters so that's diameter
just remember radius is half of that radius and then we have a twenty eight
point two eight grams copper nickel and surprisingly this is actually still
legal tender all these crowns are still legal tender and worth 25 pence so you
can actually take them to a bank for 25 pence if you want although you can
probably get two and a half pounds for it so there really is no point in doing
that so this coin is mental alignment so middle align means if we turn on a
north-south axis you will get the actual image unlike the United States coins so
the first thing you know is the ER so Lizabeth the second regina so up there a
woody and crown then we have the Elizabeth the second but grace of God
king queen of Britain hmm
no defender of the five that's it yeah it's just looking at my memory and then
we have the initials GL so I need a horse's hood that's for Gilbert laid
word said lit wood yeah who actually deeds on this coin and then we have our
two roses of England and here we have a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth
the second melted or no horse Winston so horse's name is Winston and
the uniform she has used to colonel-in-chief of the Grenadier Guards
so it's uniform I'm not too sure don't know who the Grenadier Guards he's been
look it up quite easily you got the Internet and she also wears that journey
trooping the colour ceremony so I need to look that up as well they have so
many ceremonies it's just way too much to actually mean to actually get all the
mintage is a five million nine hundred and sixty two thousand six hundredths
another lie mintage and no high mintage unlike some other commemorative coins
they have frosted proof is only thirty met a proof they've two examples so that
those are probably trial pieces near-normal proofs they have our forty
so those ones actually be a bit expensive and it was also a similar
design for D so this is the obverse with the Queen in the reverse so there's a
similar design day to 1960 with this reverse with just the normal portrait
that is the recent Mary gillich portrait on the obverse and that
one what did that celebrate I celebrated some British exhibition good but it
actually has a low mintage so it's actually harder to get so what would you
be expecting to pay for one of these coins well once again we come to the
glories of eBay and as you can see a pretty good one you'd be paying not ten
dollars for a standard one five dollars beautifully uncirculated sixteen dollars
so in this one to five dollars each you can get amine groups and that one does
not include it so here we have another and circulated ten dollars so that's
like ten fifteen dollar uncirculated six dollars and for a one in the condition I
had probably five to ten dollars so he's another one four dollars not one ten
dollars so that's what I so the prices are actually gay is like five to ten
dollars for one damaged grade for an uncirculated
probably ten to twenty dollars that seems to be what they are going for seen
$15 for uncirculated
this one looks five dollars two dollars two times crowns one dollar each so that
person pretty lucky so they're not an actual expensive coin to actually get
for something that is 67 years old they're quite easy to get in not too
expensive because IH Sonia small party determining factor on the actual coins
value so if you are into collecting those coins then there is no how to
actually get because they're not really it's been about 67 years and they're
actually not I have not really increased in value by very much so if you wanted
to get all the commemorative crowns that are ever rare coins actually gonna be
more expensive than this one and also we didn't actually have a look at the side
of the actual coin so if you start at the crust and you need to go around its
got faith and truth I will be a pawn to unto you so - true fold be unto you
that's probably one of the mottos of
probably be actual Grenadier Guards da no need to look them up I didn't look at
my footage video because that's too much research that I can actually do they
like researching that much just basically about the coin not really
what's on it because a lot of the time I'm just not interested anyway I hope
you find this video informative so you can pick these up for five to twenty
dollars penny on the grade so what's that in UK pounds it's two and a half to
ten pounds so the way just cover it so why not get the coin if you're into
collecting UK coins let's say thank you very much we'll leave a link down below
to ebay so you can have a look and see what other coins you can actually get
just remember in this grade five to ten dollars personally I wouldn't pay more
than five bucks for a coin in this grade for an uncirculated one on won't pay ten
dollars but that is just me and this one actually shows fairly little where you
can see that looks like looks like a gun actually it's probably not it's probably
a whippet of horse he's very prominent and so is the medals
and II hand even face expression on the hair in the eyes of the horse you can
see them quite clearly even though on this coin see actual depth off these two
features are it's actually not that great so this coin is actually in pretty
good condition has some scratches on it but yeah I can deal with that anyway so
let's say thank you very much for watching my video and have a awesome go
and collect the
