Celebrate a historic milestone in British numismatics with this pristine 1953 Great Britain Florin (Two Shillings) coin. Issued exclusively for the Coronation Year of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, this monumental piece marks the absolute beginning of the Elizabethan numismatic era.
Presented in immaculate Choice Uncirculated (Choice Unc.) condition, this piece displays a level of preservation rarely seen in raw cupro-nickel currency of this period. The obverse features the highly celebrated "First Portrait" of the young Queen by Mary Gillick. Crucially for collectors, the 1953 issue features the unique obverse legend containing "BRITT:OMN:" (Queen of all the Britains)—a title permanently removed from all subsequent British coinage starting in 1954.
The intricately detailed reverse, sculpted by Cecil Thomas and Edgar Fuller, exhibits a central Tudor Rose tightly encircled by the regional plant emblems of the United Kingdom: the Scottish Thistle, Irish Shamrock, and Welsh Leek. Struck from fresh, sharp dies at the Royal Mint, the fields possess a blazing, brilliant cartwheel mint luster. Free of the typical dulling and heavy storage bag marks common to coronation hoards, this dealer-vetted raw masterpiece is a prime, premium addition to any British or Royal family type set.
