2017 DateStamp™ Sapphire Jubilee £5

A brand new £5 coin has been issued by the United Kingdom to mark the 65 years since Queen Elizabeth II acceded to the throne, our first ever monarch to reach this incredible milestone.  The only official UK coins to mark The Queen’s Sapphire Jubilee, with a design approved by the Palace.  This reverse design is exclusive to the £5 coin.
