TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 10:33 am I can't find that reverse after looking through coins with key search words elizabeth 25 years jubilee etc. An image of the obverse might help. Probably dated 1978 or 1977. Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 11:56 am Silver hallmarks are for Birmingham 1977, the year of Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. It is a good medallion sold as a souvenir at the time. Sadly, these things are a bit out of fashion, so the value will largely be the silver value. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7005 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 1:47 pm @ PaddyB...with those hallmarks, was this issued through The Royal Mint? I think not or is T&S the maker? Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 10/04/2021 1:59 pm T & S is for Turner & Simpson Ltd of Legge Lane Birmingham, so not The Royal Mint. They seem to have stopped in 1979. If you ever need to check out makers names from Hallmarks on British or Irish Silver, this website will get you there: http://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/index.htm Report this Post to the Staff

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 10/05/2021 05:36 am Which Queen? Well only 2 other Queens ruled for 25 years unless it was a consort and generally the craze in Royal collectibles and anniversary tatt started only with the 1887 Golden Jubilee. It looks way too modern for Elizabeth I's anniversary in 1583/84 and as far as I know Victoria in 1862 was too busy mourning Albert to care about Silver Jubilees. Report this Post to the Staff

I need to get my eyes checked. I read mounting instead of mourning!!! Given Victoria's appetite for rumpy pumpy (proabably second only to food), my mis-read gave me a good chuckle (even if unintended). Report this Post to the Staff
