Description
A moving tribute to the People’s Princess in .925 sterling silver. This Five Pound coin was issued in the aftermath of Lady Diana Spencer’s tragic death in 1997. She joined the British royal family when she married Prince Charles in 1981 and became known for her charisma, activism and glamorous lifestyle. Her untimely passing caused an unprecedented outpouring of public grief in the UK and around the world. This commemorative proof Crown, struck two years after Diana’s death, shows a poignant, right-facing portrait of the Princess of Wales by David Cornell. The dates ’1961’ and ‘1997’ appear below her chin. This is paired with Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Her Majesty the Queen, introduced to British coinage the previous year as the fourth such official coinage effigy. This piece has a total weight of 28.28 grams and a diameter of 38.61 mm.
