The Ceremony of the Keys started in 1340 when Edward III returned and found the castle doors unlocked. So every night they have a fantastic ceremony to show that the doors are locked. That also means that the Wardens are locked inside as well. This Sterling Silver Proof £5 was issued in 2019 to honour the event as part of their Tower of London Collection. You have the lamp and the keys on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other side. They are Choice Proofs in the complete original Royal Mint packaging including certificate and booklet. These were issued at £82.50. We have a limited number of pieces available, and you can have one for just £69.50.

2000 commemorative Queen Mother 100th Birthday Uncirculated £5 coin, struck in cupro-nickel and has limited supplies.

In 2015 the Royal Mint issued a Silver Proof £5 to honour Sir Winston Churchill. For VIP collectors they even issued a piedfort or double the normal thickness of this crownsized coin in Proof Sterling Silver. We believe that when it was issued they sold it for £155.00. Someone in the United States bought a quantity and had them ‘slabbed’; that is graded and put into plastic holders to protect them. Well they came out Gem Proof grading 70 out a possible 70 points.

In 2015 the Royal Mint issued a crownsized £5 to honour Winston S. Churchill, our wartime Prime Minister. We have offered the Sterling Silver Piedfort of this coin before, but this is the first time that we offer the regular thickness. It is struck in Proof Sterling Silver rather than the double thickness of the Piedfort. Churchill is always popular and as we have less than 40 examples available it should be a quick seller. You have H. M. Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and Sir Winston Churchill in a rather interesting and I think beautiful portrait. You have had the Piedfort now is the time for the ‘regular’ VIP Sterling Silver Proof.

Slabbed PF69 Ultra Cameo, one of the first 500 struck

In 1990 the late Queen Mother celebrated her 90th birthday and the Royal Mint issued a special commemorative £5 piece to honour that event. They also issued a specimen example in an early type of bubble pack, not as fancy as the modern packaging, not as expensive as the modern ones either. You have a crowned cipher on the reverse with the dates 1900-1990 and H. M. the Queen on the obverse. These are still mint sealed, in a smaller package which is easier to store. We found 25 of them in one of the vault rooms and while they last, you can have one for a great price!

In 2002 the Royal Mint issued a crownsized £5.00 to honour the 50th anniversary of Elizabeth becoming Queen Elizabeth II. On one side you have the Queen on horseback and on the other you have a rather stunning portrait of the Queen in a very pensive pose. We have a small number of this handsome Silver Proof £5 complete in capsule. They are beautiful and do justice to our Monarch who has dedicated so much of her life to her country and her people. Don’t miss out, this is a handsome coin.

Do you remember the prophets of doom that emerged before the year 2000? What about the havoc that the Y2K bug was going to cause? It's hard to believe that more than 20 years have passed since then... but just before the turn of the century, and as a forerunner to the Millennium, the Royal Mint issued this Silver Proof £5 in 1999. You have three dates on it, two on one side and one on the other. On the obverse, you have a portrait of the Queen and the date 1999, the date it was actually issued. On the other side, you have a map of the world with Great Britain prominent with the Greenwich Meridian at the top. On the one side, you have 1999 and on the other side, you have 2000. Each piece is struck in Proof Sterling silver and each coin comes in the Royal Mint capsule as issued. It is one of the more interesting of the Royal Mint’s Five Pound series.

1997 commemorative Golden Wedding Uncirculated £5 coin, struck in cupro-nickel and has limited supplies.

This £5 was issued in 2019 and these are probably the first ones that we have ever handled. This coin was struck to honour the 200th anniversary of the birth of Queen Victoria, our second longest serving Monarch. You have the usual portrait of H. M. Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. The reverse in this case, is perhaps more interesting. It shows the portrait of Queen Victoria as used on her Young Head coinage. A steam train, telephone, steam ship and a Penny Farthing bicycle. All things that were invented in her reign. This crownsized £5 comes in both Sterling Silver and Sterling Silver Piedfort or double the normal thickness. A company in America bought the first coins struck by the Royal Mint and then had them slabbed. The finest examples, Proof 70 Ultra Cameo, were slabbed not only for the grade but also for the fact that they were one of the first 250 coins struck. Forget that, that is a bonus for you. The slab is in a plush display case with certificate and booklet. The Royal Mint sold these coins at £155.00. We can offer them to you for £110.00.

In 2017 the Royal Mint issued a handsome £5 to celebrate the Queen and Prince Philip’s 70th wedding anniversary, their Platinum. They called it ‘a story of love and loyalty’, as royalists, it is something we totally agree with. And for once the Royal Mint issued a coin that we think fully reflects the time and the mood. You have the conjoined busts of the Queen and Prince Philip on one side and the Queen on horseback on the other side. The certificate this comes with the coin says there is a maximum of 15,950 to be issued, but if previous Royal Mint issues are anything to go by, the mintage will be much lower. Each striking Proof coin comes in the Royal Mint packaging with certificate. This is a rather beautiful piece and supplies are limited.

In 2017 the House of Windsor celebrated 100 years of Royal Service. Don’t forget the name Windsor was only in use starting during the First World War. The name was changed from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor (from Windsor Castle) because of the rise of anti-German sentiment during the war. This Sterling Silver Proof £5 comes in the original Royal Mint case with certificate, just as it was issued. I assume that the original issue price was £80-£88, but we can offer this important silver proof crownsized coin for less money! You have Windsor Castle on one side and H. M. The Queen on the other side. With the case it is a rather sparkling piece.
