Some lovely Silver arrived today.  
 
Thank you @PapaLazarou for the Britannia Set 😃 
And continuing my efforts toward a Queen Elizabeth II post Decimalisation run of Crowns/£5’s, some of the more difficult and low mintage issues, all bought from an Italian eBay seller- less than 48 hour delivery from Genoa!  I particularly like the Portraits of Britain set and the Victoria Memorial/ Buckingham Palace is extremely nice. 
And thanks @Facey1 for the Prince Phillip commemorative.









 

Received over the last few days- the Maurice Bull 7th Edition reference book will be helpful and the Michael Day book makes for a nice narrative and history of the English Silver Crown- these purchased at the York Coin Fair. 

Thanks @DuncanWylieWilson for the belated post of the Southern Rhodesia Crown, I actually received it several weeks ago and put it down ‘somewhere safe’ shortly after receiving it- found in the biscuit cupboard 🙄 
Also thank you @PapaLazarou for the Piedfort Prince Phillip Crown- he looks extremely distinguished in this portrait, and thanks to the Capt’n @CaptCaveMan for the Sovereign trade- and the Jubilee/ Anniversary Crowns from an antique shop and eBay. 
 

Some more £5 Silver Proof’s.  The Royal Birth coins are Bergdahl designed and a nice design.  
The Sapphire Jubilee is a duplicate- but also a lovely design as is the Century of the House of Windsor.
And taking the rough with the smooth in this batch- a design monstrosity of the Royal Wedding.

😂 
Agreed- not quite as grim as the William & Kate- which is none the better for the Gold plate over Silver 🤮 
Collecting a run of Crowns is not for the feint hearted 😝 
Not sure how the designer could make one of the most beautiful women look like a Crack addict 😳 

We love the French! An Entente Cordiale Crown & some Jubilee stragglers- the 1/4oz Gold is lovely 😊
And a Monarch also dropped by today.
Phew, the Jubilee arrivals conclude my Platinum Jubilee coin celebration- lovely coins, each and every one of them 😃

Thats Prince William? I thought it was Elvis.
Staring lovingly into the eyes of Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

I think someone was a little overgenerous with Will's hair as well!
