**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.
