Unique colored coin marks milestone 60th anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation!

Press Release

 

Lewisville, Texas – The year 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.  To commemorate this special occasion, we are proud to present this beautiful colored coin.  The coin is an artful addition to any collection—or a perfect gift for followers of all things royal.

 

The special features of this coin include:  a stunning full color portrait coin commemorating the Coronation of Her Majesty; an oversized quarter with a specimen finish plus color; a very limited mintage of only 15,000 coins.   Taken together, these special features have resulted in a “must have” coin for serious collectors, and for all of the many admirers of Queen Elizabeth II.

 

This colored cupronickel coin captures the spirit of Canadian artist Phil Richards’ 2012 official portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, in celebration of Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee.  The reverse also features the engraved word “CANADA,” the date “2013” and the face value of “25 CENTS.”  Each coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell case, lined with flock and protected by a black sleeve.  This coin is a unique way to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation.
