The centrepiece of the collection is the commemorative Crown (£5) issued to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Featuring a specially commissioned design honouring the Coronation of 1953, this impressive coin commemorates four decades of service by Britain’s longest-reigning modern monarch.

Each coin within the collection was struck using specially prepared dies and polished blanks, creating the frosted designs and mirror-like fields that characterise Royal Mint proof coinage. Combined with its official presentation case and certificate, the set represents an attractive and historically significant addition to any collection of modern British coins.

The 1993 Deluxe Proof Collection remains a popular Royal Mint issue, combining royal history, exceptional craftsmanship, and collector appeal.

Historical Background

On 2 June 1953, Queen Elizabeth II was crowned at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony watched by millions around the world. The Coronation marked the beginning of a reign that would become one of the most significant in British history.

To commemorate the 40th Anniversary of this landmark event, The Royal Mint issued a special Crown (£5) coin as part of its 1993 collector programme. The anniversary served as an opportunity to reflect on four decades of public service and constitutional continuity under Queen Elizabeth II.

Royal Mint proof sets of the early 1990s remain highly collectable due to their quality presentation, relatively limited mintages, and their association with important national commemorations. The inclusion of the Coronation Anniversary Crown ensures that the 1993 Deluxe Proof Collection holds a special place within modern British numismatics.
