New five pound coin

The Royal Mint has announce a new British coin. While likely to be snapped up by collectors it is legal tender, worth £5, so could in theory end up in a collecting box.

The coin has been struck to commemorate the forthcoming Diamond Wedding Anniversary of Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness Prince Philip.

The coin’s obverse shows an image of both the Queen and Prince Philip, and the reverse depicts the north rose window at Westminster Abbey.
