Each coin and stamp an important one year type, and further significance as a set The coins are all virtually un-used, and the stamps are in mint condition, a superior level of quality highly sought after by collectorsSought after rarities from the most important event of Her Majesty's reign The complete set of original British coins and stamps of Her Majesty's 1953 Coronation year, including the one-year-only crown and two different shillings (English and Scottish), all in superior level of quality highly sought after by collectors. This set includes all of these important "firsts": the complete set of British coins of 1953, plus the complete set of 1953 coronation commemorative stamps. Every one of the coins and stamps is an original from 1953, and while they are all important in their own right, they are highly significant as a set.The Coronation Crown was only ever issued for one year, and featured the distinctive "Equestrian Portrait" of Her Majesty on horseback, in place of the customary facial portrait.In 1954 Her Majesty's titles were changed on the coinage which means the 1953 coins are the only ones ever issued with these original titles.The 1953 halfcrown, florin, shillings, sixpence and threepence were all new designs never seen before, making each of these coins the very first of their kind.There were two kinds of shilling coin- one with the English lions, the other with the single lion motif of Scotland- and both are in this set.The 1953 penny was never released into circulation, only ever being struck for collector sets of that year, making it the smallest production penny in the entire reign of Her Majesty.The farthing was discontinued in 1956 making the 1953 issue the first of just four coins of this type.The four commemorative stamps were only ever issued for a short period of time in 1953 making all four vital for collectors.The one-and-threepence stamp featured a portrait of Her Majesty that was only ever used on that one issue. In fact, it is the only predecimal stamp ever to feature a portrait of Her Majesty that is different to the 'definitive' portrait that appeared on all other stamps. Set includes Certificate of Authenticity. Pictures of each page are included. Shipping will be $10.42 in the United States. Outside of the United States will be done with eBay international shipping and they set that postage rate and any customs/duties.
