Coin/Banknote Collecting

[Commtech Sio Bibble 1,893]

I found these 6 coins in a silk pouch at the back of my wardrobe, was wondering if any of them are particularly interesting, or rare.

 

(From left to right)

1. 1980 Crown for the 80th birthday of the Queen Mother

2. 1977 Silver Jubilee Crown

3. 1953 Coronation Five Shilling piece

4. 1965 Crown for the death of Winston Churchill

5. 1747, very faded Georgian coin, c.2cm in diameter

6. 1911, A commemorative either (drilled) coin or medal-ette for the Coronation of George V.

The four crowns are all very common. the farthing isn't rare either unfortunately but still very cool to imagine its 277 years of life. The 1911 piece looks like something from an item of jewellery.

As football secretary of Saltash United I was sent this 3 years ago- a £2 coin in a presentation case with a certificate. 

 

Not that I'll sell it, but is it worth more than the face value?

It’s made from silver and is struck to a proof condition, so yes. Worth more than £2.
