The commemorative British decimal twenty-five pence (25p) coin was issued in four designs between 1972 and 1981. These coins were a post-decimalisation continuation of the traditional crown, with the same value of a quarter of a pound sterling. Uniquely in British decimal coinage, the coins do not have their value stated on them. This is because previous crowns rarely did so.
The 1972 British Crown was issued to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee.
Engraver: Arnold Machin
