2008 £5 Silver Proof Eliz I
This Five Pound Coin was issued by the Royal Mint in 2008 to commemorate the 450th Anniversary of the Accession of Queen Elizabeth I, 1558-2008. The obverse carries a wonderful portrait of Elizabeth I within arches. The two side panels contain details taken from carvings made by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, found at the Tower of London. Four Tudor roses sit at the points connecting the arches. The edge inscription on the coin reads ‘I HAVE REIGNED WITH YOUR LOVES’ Struck in gleaming proof Sterling silver, the coins come in a protective capsule and we will also send you a FREE replica Crown from the reign of Elizabeth I struck in cupro-nickel. Only 12 of these available.
