1953 New Zealand Crown - Coronation - Uncirculated

This significant commemorative coin was issued to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, which took place on 2 June 1953 at Westminster Abbey. Having acceded to the throne at the age of 25 following the death of her father, King George VI, this crown serves as a lasting numismatic tribute to the beginning of her historic reign.

Struck by the Royal Mint in London, this crown-sized coin is a cornerstone for collectors of British Commonwealth and Royal memorabilia.
