2010 BU £5 Pack - 350th Anniversary Restoration of the Monarchy

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 and to commemorate the 350th Anniversary of the Restoration of the Monarchy, the Royal Mint released a Limited Issue Brilliant Uncirculated Restoration of the Monarchy £5 Five Pound Coin.

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 obverse features a portrait of Her Majesty The Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS.

The coin is held in a colourful presentation folder focussing on the king and his reign as one of cultural vitality.
