This year Queen Elizabeth II will make history when she becomes the second ever British monarch to celebrate a Diamond Jubilee. In celebration of this historic event, the Royal Mint has issued an Official New Gold-Plated Silver £5 Coin. Now today you can secure this impressive coin in a Limited Edition Cover alongside new Royal Mail Stamps.
As the first British royal commemorative issued for the Diamond Jubilee, this new UK Gold-Plated £5 Coin has been sought-after on a worldwide scale. Struck in solid Sterling Silver to an immaculate Proof finish and then plated in 24 Carat Gold, it is the first UK coin to ever be struck with a full effigy of Her Majesty on both sides. And, in honour of this momentous occasion, it will also become the first UK coin since 2007 to feature a new obverse portrait of the Queen.
Sitting alongside the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Definitive and brand new £1.10 Queen Elizabeth II Stamp, both issued by the Royal Mail, this cover really is something special. Especially as the stamps have been postmarked on the exact day Her Majesty will celebrate her 60th Anniversary as Queen.
Considering all the above highly collectable features, demand for this cover is guaranteed to be high. In fact, it is likely that the 950 edition will sell out very soon, so order yours today to avoid missing out.
