The 1972 British Crown was issued to commemorate the 25th wedding anniversary of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
These coins are secondhand. Although the coins are in good condition, there maybe some damage on some presentation boxes. Please contact us if you would like more information.
The 1972 crown was the first British coin to have a face value of 25 pence. Previous crowns had been Five Shillings face value.
The absence of an inscription denoting the face value now causes some confusion, particularly because, as from 1990, it appears to have been decided that future crowns would assume a Five Pounds face value.
We are frequently asked why the 1972 crown, and others do not carry a mark of value. It may be more relevant to ask why it is necessary for most modern coins to carry a statement of their value. In bygone times, most people knew what coins were worth, they did not need to rely on an inscription on the coin to inform them. This would be an interesting subject for further study.
From the introduction of the first crown in 1544, crowns did not carry a mark of value. Only briefly did crowns ever carry such a mark, the occasions being as follows, very rare Charles I Scarborough siege coinage, Commonwealth (1649 - 1660) crowns, and Charles II second issue hammered gold crowns. The value mark on all these was a letter "V", the Roman numeral for 5.
Apart from these, the first time that crowns bore a denomination was from 1927, when the word "CROWN" appeared on them.
On the three crowns issued between 1951 and 1960, the value "Five Shillings" appeared, but this was again omitted from the Churchill Commemorative crown of 1965.
Because Britain had only just completed decimalisation in 1971, it may have been sensible, with hindsight, to have shown the new decimal equivalent - 25 New Pence - on this and subsequent crown issues.
The omission may have been partly historic, for reasons given above, or it may have been partly because crowns had not been part of the regular British coinage since about 1914, and the main purpose of the 1972 issue was as a commemorative piece, which was never primarily intended to circulate.

1972 - Taji la Uingereza lilitolewa ili kuadhimisha maadhimisho ya miaka 25 ya ndoa ya Malkia Elizabeth wa Pili na Prince Philip, Duke wa Edinburgh. Sarafu hizi ni za zamani. Ingawa sarafu hizo ziko katika hali nzuri, huenda kukawa na uharibifu fulani kwenye masanduku fulani ya maonyesho. Tafadhali wasiliana nasi kama ungependa habari zaidi. "Mtaji wa Uingereza wa 1972 ulikuwa ""mashine ya kwanza ya Uingereza kuwa na thamani ya uso wa senti 25.""" Taji za awali zilikuwa na thamani ya shilingi tano. Kutokuwa na maandishi ya thamani ya jina sasa husababisha baadhi ya kuchanganyikiwa, hasa kwa sababu, kama kutoka 1990, inaonekana kuwa imeamuliwa kwamba mataji ya baadaye ingekuwa kudhani thamani ya jina ya Pauni tano. "Watu wengi wanauliza, ""Kwa nini taji la 1972 na taji la zamani halina alama ya thamani?""" Huenda ikawa muhimu zaidi kuuliza kwa nini ni muhimu kwa sarafu nyingi za kisasa kubeba taarifa ya thamani yao. Katika nyakati za zamani, watu wengi walijua thamani ya sarafu, na hawakuwa na haja ya kutegemea maandishi yaliyokuwa kwenye sarafu ili kujua thamani yake. Hilo lingekuwa jambo lenye kupendeza la kujifunza zaidi. Tangu kuanzishwa kwa taji la kwanza mwaka 1544, taji halikuwa na alama ya thamani. "Kuna wakati ambapo mataji ya kifalme yalibeba alama kama hiyo, kama vile ""Charles I Scarborough Siege Coinage,"" ""Commonwealth (1649-1660) Crowns,"" na ""Charles II Second Issue Hammered Gold Crowns.""" "Hii ni alama ya ""V"" (nambari ya Kiroma ya 5)." "Kutoka mwaka wa 1927 hadi mwaka wa 1945 taji la Uingereza lilikuwa na herufi ""CROWN"" kwenye jina lake." "Kutokana na kuonekana kwa sarafu tatu zilizotolewa kati ya 1951 na 1960, thamani ya ""Shillingi Tano"" ilionekana, lakini hii iliondolewa tena kutoka kwa taji la ukumbusho la Churchill la 1965." Kwa sababu Uingereza ilikuwa tu imekamilisha decimalisation katika 1971, inaweza kuwa na busara, na retrospect, kuonyesha sawa mpya decimal - 25 New Pence - juu ya hii na masuala ya taji ya baadaye. "Hiyo inaweza kuwa ni kwa sababu ya kihistoria, kwa sababu zilizotajwa hapo juu, au inaweza kuwa kwa sababu taji hazikuwa sehemu ya sarafu ya kawaida ya Uingereza tangu karibu 1914, na kusudi kuu la suala la 1972 lilikuwa kama kipande cha kumbukumbu, ambacho hakikuwa na lengo la kuzunguka.""" Picha ya pili (decimal) ya Malkia akizunguka kulia, iliyoundwa na Arnold Machin. "Kutoka kwa ""Elizabeth II"" na ""E.P.,"" picha ya Eros akiwa uchi katikati ya mti wa maua, iliyoundwa na Arnold Machin."
