| Additional information |
The 1993 coronation anniversary issue was one of dozens of commemorative fifty-pence pieces produced by the Falkland Islands during the 1990s, a period when the territory leaned heavily on collector-market coins as a revenue stream following the renewed international attention brought by the 1982 conflict. The coronation itself took place on 2 June 1953 at Westminster Abbey, with Elizabeth II's crowning broadcast on British television for the first time — an audience estimated at 27 million in the UK alone.
KM#43 is copper-nickel rather than silver, placing it firmly in the non-precious commemorative tier.
