The Gold Proof 40th Coronation Anniversary £5 Crown These crowns were issued to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Gold Proof
The 1953 - 1993 40th coronation anniversary crowns were issued in three, or arguably four, different versions, base metal issued at face value through banks, base metal specimen version, silver proof version, and the gold proof version which we feature on this page.

Obverse
At the centre of the obverse design is the Mary Gillick uncrowned young head portrait of the Queen, as on almost all British coins from 1953 to decimalisation. This effigy is encircled by mounted trumpeters separated by swords and sceptres of the Royal Regalia.
The obverse design is by Robert Elderton.
ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA FID DEF
FIVE POUNDS

Reverse
The reverse design, also by Robert Elderton, features at the centre, St. Edward's crown, which was used at the coronation of the Queen. It is surrounded by forty trumpets in celebration of the happy occasion, evoking memories of the blaze of trumpets which welcomed the Queen as she entered Westminster Abbey on Coronation day.
