2019 Queen Victoria 200th Anniversary £5 Silver Proof Obverse

2019 Queen Victoria 200th Anniversary £5 Silver Proof Reverse

£75.00

Coming to the throne in 1837, Queen Victoria would reign over Great Britain for 64 years. This Five Pound silver proof coin from The Royal Mint, struck in 2019, celebrates 200 years since her birth. Interestingly, this collectible coin features a queen on both sides. The obverse shows Jody Clark’s effigy of the current Queen, Elizabeth II while the reverse features an interpretation of the ‘Young Head’ effigy that appeared on Victoria’s coinage, reimagined by coin designer John Bergdahl. This portrait is surrounded by Victorian-era innovations: a nod to the legacy of technological change left by her reign. This example is from a limited edition presentation of just 5,000 and is struck in 28.28 grams of 925 sterling silver. It’s offered in its original packaging with a numbered certificate of authenticity.

Presentation

From a limited edition presentation of 5,000, offered in its original packaging from The Royal Mint with numbered certificate of authenticity.

Steeped in more than 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint supplies all of the United Kingdom's coinage as well as currency for nations around the world. Renown for craftsmanship and thoughtful design, The Royal Mint also produces commemorative coins, favoured by investors and collectors.

A Millennia of Minting

Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.

The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.

In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by Her Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.

Collecting and Investing

The Royal Mint's commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.

Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.

The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.

We're based in Royal Wootton Bassett, a historic market town in beautiful Wiltshire. If the name rings a bell it's probably because you remember how the community honoured those soldiers who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 'Royal' in the name was granted in 2011 to recognise this.

Our new showroom – opened in 2020 – is located in the heart of Royal Wootton Bassett in a grand, old bank building. Inside you can view our stock, as well as jewellery and collectibles from several local antique dealers. Look out for the Old Bank Antiques sign and come on in.

What can I say? It was a 5 star service for my second visit to Britannia Coin. I have one gripe in that I like to keep paper copies of all paperwork, but I could not print a decent copy of the order confirmation email. No matter I have the coin and it looks great, a good choice. Highly recommended service, well done chaps.

I like the fact that coins already sold don't clutter-up the website. This is a major annoyance, in many dealers' online lists. Payment is straightforward, and delivery is next-day. That's what customer like.
