Coins Index

According to the Royal Mint:
The new commemorative £5 coin for 2010 marks a crucial episode in British history: in 1660, the system of government under the Commonwealth was abandoned in favour of a restored monarchy under Charles II. The specially designed reverse depicts a crown, the symbol of monarchy, with a spray of oak leaves and, in a pleasing link with the coinage of Charles II, interlinked Cs. The coin is held in a colourful presentation folder focussing on the king and his reign as one of cultural vitality.

British Platinum Piedfort Crowns
Starting in 2004, the Royal Mint has issued platinum piedfort proof crowns. These are naturally very expensive. We can usually supply them new to order if required, but we prefer to source lower priced ones from the secondary market. Please contact us if you are interested.

2010 Crowns £5 for £5
Each year, both the Royal Mint, Westminster Collections, and others, offer a loss-leader of a £5 crown for £5, post free. This is to get you onto their mailing lists, and into their clutches, usually so they can market their more profitable items at you. Here at Chard, we don't believe in this type of aggressive marketing, and some years back, we stopped offering the ordinary circulation crowns because we recieved too may complaints about the quality of their finish, even though this is a factor which is beyond our control.
We noticed the Royal Mint's offer which is restricted to one coin per household.
