1953 British Coin Set in Blue Display Holder
This lot is a boxed set of British coins dated 1953, presented in a clear plastic holder with a blue backing. The set comprises a number of pre-decimal denominations, including a large crown-sized piece, a half crown, florins, shillings, sixpences, threepences and bronze pennies, with a gold-tone coin in the upper section. Several coins bear the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscription ELIZABETH II D G REG F D, and the crown-sized piece depicts a rider on horseback. The coins are arranged in two rows of pieces across the display, and the holder carries the wording identifying the set.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The coins remain in the original plastic display holder, which shows some light surface scratching and handling marks. The individual coins appear to be in the state one would expect of a display set of this age, with some toning visible on the copper pieces. The set is offered as seen and no further grading is stated. Coronation year sets of this kind may appeal to collectors of Elizabeth II coinage, those assembling pre-decimal sets, and anyone interested in commemorative British numismatic material from 1953.
