1953_Coronation_Proof_Set

Elizabeth II, 1953 Coronation Proof Set

In 1953 Queen Elizabeth II had her Coronation, while she had been Queen for almost a year, this made it Official. It is Royal Mint policy only to issue coins for a new Monarch only after their Coronation. So, although Elizabeth became our Queen in 1952, no coins were issued until after her Coronation in 1953 so these were the first official coinage of Queen Elizabeth II. The 1953 coins are one year only coins, as the next year they changed the legend slightly. In the Coronation Proof Set you have the Crown, Halfcrown, Florin, English Shilling, Scottish Shilling, Sixpence, brass Threepence, Penny, Halfpenny and Farthing. The Proof Set comes in a maroon case, but because of the padding used in the cases, the insides are sometimes a bit spotty. The bronze coins may have toned or mellowed but the coins are all in Proof condition, as issued.

Celtic Silver Quniarius of Kaletedes

We have a small number of these Celtic silver Quinarius available dating from ca. 120-50 BC.

They dwelled in the region surrounding the present-day city of Langres (Civitas Lingonum) which is named after the Gallic tribe. The coins have a Celticised head of Roma on the obverse which was widely used on Roman Republican coins of the period. The reverse shows a horse galloping left with KAΛ above and Δ below. The denomination is a quinarius which was half of a denarius. They grade about very fine for this issue. Only five of these coins are available.
