British Crown Coin (Silver Wedding Anniversary) Issued 1972

Isle of Man Silver Wedding Crown (Twenty Five Pence, 1972)

This crown was issued by the Isle of Man in 1972 to mark the Silver Wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, who had married in 1947. A large crown-sized coin of 38.6mm carrying a face value of twenty-five pence, it was produced as a commemorative piece rather than for everyday circulation, and was struck in cupro-nickel as well as in silver versions. It has a plain edge and the substantial weight expected of a crown.

On the obverse, the coin carries Arnold Machin’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a tiara. The surrounding legend reads “ISLE OF MAN” to the left and “ELIZABETH II” to the right, with the date “1972” at the foot of the design.

On the reverse are two heraldic shields set side by side within a linked chain-like border, representing the royal arms and those of Prince Philip. The dates “1947” and “1972” appear above and below the shields, while the surrounding legend reads “SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY” above and “TWENTY·FIVE PENCE” along the lower edge.
