Is this coin/sovereign worth anything?

Question

Details-

The box: on the front of the box it says "crown of crowns", inside the box in gold writting it says -

"coin struck by the royal mint, 22ct gold plated by craftsmen of england"

then there is a small leaflet thing with a picture of the coin on it saying, "coin pendants of quality from coin products of london" inside it shows the prices of different sovereigns and krugerrand.

The actual coin -

the coin is gold coloured with a bird and a crown on it on one side, with a swirly leaf thing, and on the otherside a picture of someone riding a horse, with "Elizabeth 2 dg.regfd, 1977 " enscripted on it, also the coing has a chain that you can have attached to it.

By the way im 16 sorry if the discription is a bit wierd... lol, anyway what is the coin for and can anyone value it?

Answer 1

From your description, it sounds like a Silver Jubilee crown that has

been gold-plated.  It is intended as a decorative item/souvenir.  Plated,

it really has no numismatic value.  

The obverse shows Elizabeth II on horseback -- as she was when

trooping the colour in her younger days -- and the reverse shows

various items of Coronation regalia.  (The "bird" is a ewer, as I

recall.)  

Answer 2

Sounds like it was the Crown (coin worth 25 pence) produced for the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. These are normally silver, as it is gold-coloured it may actually be solid gold in which case it's worth an awful lot (the gold alone is very expensive). However, it says it's plated, it may be worth more than just a normal crown as you have the original box and papers. The best way to get it valued is to take it to a reputable coin dealer and ask. If they offer you an amount I'd insure it for two/three times more than that.

Answer 3

Take it to a coin shop for a proper appraisal.  REAL gold, it´s worth a bunch...I think gold recently topped $900-oz, so, yeah, just that, but if it's a QEII silver Jubilee special issue, it could be worth more than the gold.

Also, those little leaflets, those can be printed up for anything, but sometimes they are there along with a certificate of authenticity.

Answer 4

it's valuable but how much will depend on it's condition  it will be worth is weight in gold

plus 1977 was the queen silver jubliee on the throne (25yrs)

Answer 5

I agree with Sue, but don't leave the coin with anyone and go with a adult to the coin place. Good Luck.
