Queen Anne was the last in a dynasty, the last Stuart queen, but she was also the first queen of Great Britain. In 2014 you can celebrate the legacy of this influential woman with a £5 coin struck in her honour. Bearing an elegant portrait, styled by Mark Richards FRBS as an eighteenth-century miniature, the coin recalls an age of elegance and refinement and commemorates the life and legacy of a queen who presided over a period of great change in Britain’s history.
The beautifully illustrated pack that houses this superb Brilliant Uncirculated £5 coin has been prepared with the help of The Royal Mint Museum, exploring both her reign and the fascinating numismatic tales that are still shared with wonder, including the story of how bullion captured from Spanish treasure ships was transformed into what are now very rare coins.
