2022 Queen Elizabeth II Platinum 70th Jubilee St Edwards Coronation Crown 24k Pure Gilded Coin
The most sacred and important ornament in English history, St. Edward’s Crown is the centerpiece of Great Britain’s Crown Jewels. Named after Saint Edward the Confessor, it has traditionally been used to crown English and British monarchs at their coronations since the 13th century and was last used in 1953 at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Simply put, St. Edward’s Crown is one of the most iconic symbols of Royalty known around the world. Not worn in 70 years—and it won’t be worn again until Prince Charles inherits the throne upon the passing of The Queen—this fabulous piece has been on permanent display at the Tower of London since 1661. Now it can be on display in your collection thanks to this legal-tender coin that was struck in the shape of the famous headpiece.
Beautifully Layered In 24-Karat Gold
Struck in proof like base (ZnCuAl) and lavishly plated in pure 24-karat gold, this legal-tender 2 Cedis coin was released on behalf of Ghana. It perfectly captures the appearance of the famous crown, though at a fraction of the size.
While the real crown weighs around 5 pounds and is about 12 inches tall compared to this coin’s epic 44 mm x 31 mm dimensions. On this coin you can see all the features that makes St. Edward’s crown so iconic—features that mimic its gemstones and layers of gold, ermine, and velvet.
