<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8518942, member: 101855&quot;]Here is a Proof 1953 crown (5 shillings) that was issued as part of Elizabeth II&#039;s coronation Proof set. This set was very modest compared to the sets that were issued for previous British monarchs. The British economy was in rough shape following World War II, the Elizabeth&#039;s Proof set reflected that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The diplomats had learned their lesson from World War I. Instead of draining Germany and the other Axis powers after their defeat, the west chose to re-build them. It was a smart move because the peace after the First World War sowed the seeds for the Second World War. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1506148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1506149[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This piece is impaired because it was stored for too long in its original issue box. I have the rest of the set which also has its issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
