The Coronation
On the 2nd day of June 1953, the young Elizabeth was crowned Queen.
The Coronation was the thirty-eighth to have taken place at Westminster Abbey, the precedent having been set almost 900 years earlier when Harold II was crowned in 1066.
The day dawned wet and cold, but not so the spirits of those lining the procession route. Throughout the land the day was one of rejoicing and celebration. Bonfires were lit on hills and mountaintops, as they had been for 1000 years to celebrate the crowning of another sovereign in the long line of the British monarchy.
The Coronation was an event shared by millions, whether as part of the privileged congregation in Westminster Abbey, as part of the crowd lining the streets of London, or as part of the huge audience who watched on television.
The highlight of the day for all who watched or waited was the moment when the newly crowned Queen, seated in the magnificent Gold State Coach, made her way back to Buckingham Palace and the start of a new era for Britain.

European Community Fifty Pence
In 1992, a fifty pence coin was issued to commemorate the United Kingdom's Presidency of the European Community, and the completion of the Single European Market.
The United Kingdom held the Presidency of the European Community during the second half of 1992.
The Single European Market came into effect on January 1st 1993.

Dual Dates
This is the first British coin to bear dual dates 1992 - 1993, rather than the normal single date.
