triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9406 Posts	Posted 08/02/2007 06:41 am A friend at work has asked me to find out any info on this coin, for him. According to http://(131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed , this is a commemorative 25 New Pence KM#921. Can anyone give me a valuation, please. I would grade it at AU. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Steve Report this Post to the Staff

Firecom911 Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 08/06/2007 7:02 pm The coin above...depicting Charles and Lady Diana...is that an official Coin of the Realm? I GREATLY admire Lady Diana, and have wondered if there were any Royal Mint-issued coins bearing her image. Report this Post to the Staff
triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9406 Posts	Posted 08/07/2007 05:41 am although there is no denomination on it, this is a real coin, valued at 25 New Pence. It is KM#925. I managed to swap one today for the Queen Mother coin. Steve Report this Post to the Staff
NumisMattyUk Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2217 Posts	Posted 08/07/2007 06:38 am Triggers I have a pile of them tho' they have minor scratches Not sure what you mean by "official coin of the realm"..but they were made by The Royal Mint and as triggers says they have a face value of 5 shillings which in decimal is 5 x 0.05 decimal pounds or 25 pence. Never seen one in my change tho' for some reason ;) Edited by NumisMattyUk 08/07/2007 06:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
Firecom911 Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 08/18/2007 10:53 am Thanks, Matty! By "coin of the realm" I meant Royal Mint-made and spendable! LOL! Report this Post to the Staff
Brissyboy Valued Member Australia 335 Posts	Posted 08/18/2007 10:14 pm A lot of British Commonwealth countries issued Royal Wedding coins in 1981, many with the duel portrait. Australia issued a 50 cent coin, our only 50 cents struck outside of Australia (at The Royal Mint in Wales). After her death in 1997, the UK issued a 5 pound coin paying tribute to her. Some other countries did also. There are also some coins this year marking the 10th anniversary of her death - Alderney in the Channel Islands is one and coins were struck by Royal Mint I think.

Brissyboy Valued Member Australia 335 Posts	Posted 08/18/2007 10:18 pm Oh, she also appears on one of the coins in the 1992 Australian Royal Ladies silver proof and gold proof sets. Very nice coins and one of the only times I have come across Princess Margaret on a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 08/20/2007 4:42 pm I have one of the Charles and Diana coins issued in a special commemorative folder. The coin is cupro-nickel. I also have the silver proof version of the same coin in the box issued by The Royal Mint. The certificate states that a maximum of 250,000 will be issued world wide. The coin was designed by Philip Nathan (a former Royal Mint engraver) and his intials P.N. appear just below the portrait of Prince Charles. Sorry I can't post photos but my camera has just broken dowm\n. Report this Post to the Staff
