A coin commemorating Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee could be worth £150.
In 1977, nearly 37 million Silver Jubilee Crowns were minted to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Her Majesty. The Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II marked the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the thrones of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms.
The coin, at face value, was 25p. However, many people kept the coin for commemorative purposes. The coin, despite it being a 'Silver Jubilee' coin is not actually made out of silver but rather refers to the anniversary.
The coin shows Queen Elizabeth II on horseback. Around the edge of the coin reads: ‘ELIZABETH II DG. REG FD 1977’. The coin is quite different to others as it measures 3.83cm in diameter and 28.28g in weight.

The coin can be purchased on eBay for around £2 meaning it doesn't have a huge amount of worth. However, according to The Coin Expert, it's worth taking a look at the intricate details of the coin as it could actually be worth around £150.
The blog reports that in 2014 a 1977 Jubilee crown coin went to auction after it was found to have been minted incorrectly. The coin's design was said to be off-centre due to an error in the striking process.
The coin's value was said to be estimated between £100 to £150. However, the final selling price is unknown.
In February 2022, the Royal Mint released a 50p coin celebrating Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee into circulation via Post Offices across the UK.
The special 50p coin features a commemorative Platinum Jubilee design on the ‘tails’ side of the coin. It is the first time that a Royal event has been celebrated on a 50p, Britain’s most collectable coin, and the unique design was personally approved by The Queen.
