In 2000, to celebrate Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother's 100th Birthday, the Royal Mint released a Limited Issue Queen Mother £5 Five Pound Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .925 Sterling Silver Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR70 DCAM.
For his superb portrait of the Queen Mother, Ian Rank Broadley worked from photographs which the Queen Mother graciously allowed to be taken for this very special purpose. To symbolise The Queen Mothers century, he has included cheering crowds in the background, those in Victorian dress rejoicing at her birth and those in modern dress celebrating her hundredth year. Below the portrait appears a representation of her signature.
The obverse is the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley FRBS, FSNAD.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
Why is a Certified coin a better investment?
PCGS & NGC are the main two impartial Numismatic Grading Services in the world and is a guarantee that the coin is genuine and has been graded accurately and professionally.
The sonically sealed solid plastic slabb is individually numbered so that the details of the coin(s) can be verified on a central database, and is also tamperproof.
In addition, the coin is protected from handling and keeps the coin(s) condition and finish long term if looked after which can be detrimental to the value once sold.
