Issued to mark Elizabeth II's 88th birthday, this piece is one of a long-running series of annual birthday crowns the Royal Mint has produced since the 1990s — a commercial program that has grown considerably more elaborate over time, with proof silver and gold variants now dwarfing the base-metal versions in production complexity if not in mintage numbers.
