2023 Proof Silver Crown £5 Coin The Pride of England Boxed

England has a rich history of promoting women's sports, and its commitment extends to the realm of football. The England women's football team has been home to remarkable athletes like Kelly Smith, Fara Williams, and Ellen White. Over the years, they have achieved notable milestones, with their crowning achievement being the European Championship win in 2022.

To honour the team's achievements, the 2023 Pride of England £5 silver proof coin has been released. This coin features a design by sculptor Norman Sillman, showcasing the lions passant guardant, first seen on the £1 coin but also a symbol of strength and courage deeply ingrained in English football.

The 2023 Pride of England £5 Crown is minted in 925 sterling silver to a proof mirrored finish. It comes in an official Royal Mint box which includes an informative booklet that details England's rich sporting history. The boxed proof coin serves as a fitting tribute to the Lionesses as they embark on their biggest tournament yet and not only celebrates their success but also signifies England's enduring commitment to women's sports. It is an ideal keepsake for football enthusiasts and those who appreciate the significance of British sports history.
