Crown Covers – Elizabeth II Wedding Anniversary Collection
The 20th November marks the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II wedding to Prince Phillip Mountbatten. At Coincraft we celebrate the occasion by presenting our collectors with a selection of commemorative Coins and First Day Covers of the Queen's wedding. If you want to read more about this important event read our blog post about the Queen's Wedding anniversary.
This is something that everyone will want, either for themselves or as a present, but there is a limit of 2 Collections per order. These are beautiful First Day Covers made up between about 2002 and 2011. But there is a hole in the middle of each cover; this was to hold a crownsized coin. Mercury who issued them made more covers than coins. They had a warehouse full and we bought them. Each package is 20 different covers the vast majority of Royal interest. You have a full cover photograph and an actual stamp cancelled with a special cancellation. Some of the stamps have a face value of over £1.00. But here is the bargain you get 20 different covers all with stamps for just £8.50, which makes them 42.5 Pence each. The stamps alone are worth more in many cases. They are colourful, yes they have a hole for a coin in them, but they are 42.5 Pence each, talk about a bargain. Limit two sets per order. Each package is different, but there will be some duplication between packages. Get them while they last…

In 1972 the Royal Mint issued a commemorative 25 Pence or Crown for the Queen & Prince Phillip’s 25th Wedding Anniversary. What most people don’t realise is that there were three different types issued. You have the base metal or cupronickel Crown that was issued in Uncirculated theoretically for circulation and the Sterling Silver Proof issued for collectors, but you also have a third type issued. This is the cupronickel Proof which came in the 1972 Proof Set. The type offered here is the cupronickel proof. It is a simple design with EP for Elizabeth and Phillip on one side and the Queen’s portrait on the other side. It is also the first decimal crown or 25 Pence to be struck for the Queen.
