The Queen's Diamond Jubilee commemorative souvenirs:
Outstanding amongst the numerous Diamond Jubilee souvenirs were those of Gold and Silver coins , of flowers , stamps and China Tableware.
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Coins:
To celebrate this grand royal occasion, the Royal Mint has struck a beautiful new £5 coin with two new portraits of The Queen spanning her long reign.It is the first coin ever struck to commemorate a Diamond Jubilee - there were no special coins for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897 - and is certainly worthy of the occasion.
It is minted to Brilliant Uncirculated standard - a higher quality than the coins in your pocket - and is set within a beautifully illustrated display folder.
The Diamond Jubilee £5 coin is a fabulous souvenir of this once-in-a-lifetime occasion and is ideal for street parties and Jubilee celebrations.
