Comments

The second crown-sized coin to be issued following Decimalisation Day on 15th February 1971, the denomination was updated from 5 shillings to 25 new pence. Despite being produced in their millions and being available at face value from most post offices and banks, the ordinary business strike was a Royal Mint commemorative issue and not intended for general circulation.

In addition to the circulation standard issue, there was also a BU strike in a presentation folder and a proof strike was issued as part of the Annual Proof coin set. The version in the black coin slider was issued through several different banks in the UK.
