Comments

Chociaż monety te upamiętniały Wystawę Brytyjską w Nowym Jorku w USA (na której Mennica Królewska miała swoje stoisko), wszystkie zostały wybite w Mennicy Królewskiej, a na wystawie sprzedano ich 18 000. Medale wielkości korony zostały wybite na stoisku mennicy.

Standardowa waga tych monet wynosiła 10/11 uncji trojańskich (436,4 g). Zgodnie z ustawą o monetach z 1946 roku, skład zmienił się z .500 srebra na .750 miedzi / .250 niklu, ale waga pozostała niezmieniona.

Moneta ta nie została uwzględniona w przepisach dotyczących demonetyzacji, gdy w 1971 r. wprowadzono decymalizację. Mennica Królewska potwierdziła, że moneta pozostaje prawnym środkiem płatniczym, ponieważ została zremonetyzowana z wartością 25 pensów.

Wzór rewersu tej monety był taki sam, jak w przypadku korony koronacyjnej królowej w 1953 roku, przy czym data została zmieniona, a krawędź monety nie została wycięta, lecz zaokrąglona. Projekt ten został również ponownie wykorzystany w 2014 roku z okazji pierwszych urodzin księcia Jerzego z Cambridge i ponownie w 2022 roku jako jeden z pierwszych projektów nowej monety króla Karola III.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Although commemorating the British Exhibition in New York, USA (at which The Royal Mint had a stand), these coins were all struck at the Royal Mint, with 18,000 being sold at the exhibition. Crown-sized medals were struck at the mint stand.

The standard weight of these coins was 10/11 troy ounce (436.4 grains). Under the Coinage Act of 1946, the composition changed from .500 silver to .750 copper/.250 nickel but the weight remained unchanged.

This coin was not included in demonetization legislation when decimalization was introduced in 1971. It has been confirmed by the Royal Mint that the coin remains legal tender, having been remonetized with a value of 25 pence.

The reverse design of this coin was that used for the Queen's Coronation crown in 1953 with the date being changed and having a reeded edge rather than incuse lettering. This design was also reused in 2014 to celebrate the first birthday of Prince George of Cambridge and again in 2022 as one of the first designs for the new King Charles III coinage.
