kena Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1687 Posts	Posted 09/01/2015 5:47 pm Royal Mint released various coins today to celebrate Queen Elizabeth becoming the UK Longest Reigning Monarch. Looks like two different reverses are being offered. When The Royal Mint site was online it look like £20 for £20 and the £13 Crown coin were the cheapest ways to get both reverses. £20 for £20 Reverse BU Crown Coin Ken Report this Post to the Staff

Coinaholic73 Valued Member United Kingdom 298 Posts	Posted 09/01/2015 8:12 pm Why has The Royal Mint put 'One Crown' on the reverse? 5 Pounds is most certainly not a Crown, and surely these crown sized coins ceased to be crowns when they upped the value from 25p to £5. Or maybe I'm just being ultra picky. I do like the £20 reverse though, very nice. Report this Post to the Staff

augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2015 12:24 am Denomination doesn't matter any more. 5 pounds is never going to be worth five pounds, so if it's a crown or a hat, or a pig, doesn't matter, you either buy it or not. I don't..... Report this Post to the Staff

Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 09/09/2015 5:19 pm Horrible.... The Royal Mint very rarely gets it right with their new issues. The fact that they've released a coin to mark an occasion that the Queen herself doesn't want to acknowledge says it all. Report this Post to the Staff

Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 4:56 pm True, but the Queen does what she's advised to do. That's the only way a monarchy can work in a modern western democracy: By having no real power. Report this Post to the Staff
augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 04:40 am But when it comes to coins, she HAS said no. I spoke with the guy who designed the Diana 5 pound coin, and he was told in no uncertain terms to get rid of stuff like candles (candle in the wind) because it was sentimental towards Diana. The queen did it, no one knows about it, so it's not a problem. Had she said no to this coin, how many people would know and how many would care? Report this Post to the Staff
