United Kingdom 5 pounds 2013 - Coronation
New commemorative type:
"60th Anniversary of the Queen's Coronation"
(news and image by Pabitra Saha, Jo Hoogeveen and Serhiy Dzhyshkariani)
Like the recent new 50p piece, this is a commemorative issue and I'd be very surprised indeed if I found one in circulation.
For some years now, to the best of my knowledge, it has not even been possible to buy the annual £5 issues (base metal version) anywhere for their nominal value. Some post offices used to have them at £5 but I haven't seen one there in a long time.
