Is this coin/sovereign worth anything?
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?
It will be a commemorative coin issued for the silver anniversay (25th) of Queen Elizabeth ascending to the throne.
You might search ebay or google for a value - try "Queen Elizabeth II commemorative coins silver anniversary" and see if you get any hits.
It'll be worth something, especially if it's solid gold, but it may just be gold plate.
