1955 five shilling coin

[Guest Richard Marsh]

Hi I am a new member, does anyone out there have an idea of the value of a 1955 five shilling coin. it has Queen Elizabeth on horseback on 1 side and 4 coat of arms on the other side. along the edge it has the following words inscribed "faith and truthI will bear unto you"

[Emperor Oli]

I think it is actually dated 1953, and was minted to celebrate the Queen's coronation. It's only worth a couple of pounds unless in tip-top uncirculated condition, where it's about £5

I also have one of these coins and I can confirm on this one its 1955 Not 1953

Can you post a close-up pic of the date?

There are no 1955 crowns. However, the 5 and the 3 on the Coronation crown are almost identical apart from a small stroke connecting the top stroke to the loop. It's possible there has been some die fill, or damage, which makes the 3 on a few crowns look like a 5. Yes, pictures of the date would be most useful.

Not related to the 1877 Silver Jubilee 25p crowns by any chance? Chinese copies can be anything. Definitely need a picture with a close-up of the date.
