1977 Queen Elizabeth II Crowner Jubilee Royal Silver Commemorative Coin - Cupronickel Version

 

The 1977 Silver Jubilee coins commemorate the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. Queen Elizabeth was crowned in 1952, so in 1977 when she celebrated her Silver Jubilee of 25 years on the throne

 

The front (obverse) side of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in Guards uniform on horseback. The text, “ELIZABETH II DG. REG FD 1977” surrounds the portrait as an edge inscription.

The reverse side, designed by renowned artist Arnold Machin, contains an Ampulla, a small flask in the shape of an eagle, and a small spoon beneath. Decorative heraldic flowers surround the eagle, culminating at the top with the crown of St. Edward. The coin does not contain a visible designation of its worth, like normal currency.

 

Elizabeth II held the titles of the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, the most enduring female head of state in global history and the world's oldest living monarch. Following her father's passing in February 1952, Elizabeth, at the age of 25, assumed the role of Head of the Commonwealth and became the Queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth nations. Noteworthy milestones in her reign include the coronation ceremony in 1953 and the celebrations marking her Silver, Golden, and Diamond Jubilees in 1977, 2002, and 2012, respectively. In 2017, she achieved the distinction of being the first British monarch to reach a Sapphire Jubilee. The presented crown is a commemorative piece from her Silver Jubilee in 1977. The First Day Cover cachet commemorates her coronation.
