Many here know that I have been going through this accumulation for some time. These are the coins I decided to keep. It was based the cool factor, and how interesting the coin was. I already posted this 2 mark coin in a different thread.
Swiss 2 Franc I am partial to Swiss coins. I also kept some 1/2 Francs & Rappen, many of which (the Rappen) are in great condition from the 20's & 30's.
good lad keeping the jubilee crown, i doubt if there has ever been a more beautiful set that the victoria jubilee. from the threepence to the five pounds every coin is so attractive and easy on the eye.
Thanks, can you give me some info regarding it? I actually kept it for St. George and the Dragon (my first of the type).
your coin is the five shilling crown from the set,it is not very rare but in uncirculated condition can command a decent price say 70 to 80 pounds. the jubilee set was issued to mark victorias diamond jubilee as mornarch of the UK, the were issued from 1887 to 1893 and apparently the coins were unpopular with the people at the time but they reall appeal to a lot of collectors today. in the set there were: 3d 4d (for british guiana only) 6d 1shilling florin half crown double florin of four shillings crown half soveriegn sovereign two pounds 5 pounds. all coins were silver except the latter four which were gold. there are two distinct types of sixpence one having the leged six pence on the reverse and one with a gartered shield the same applied to the 1 shilling. which also had two obverses the large head and the small head.
