2004 Entente Cordiale Gold Proof £5 Crown Coin.

Issued by The Royal Mint, this gold five pound coin celebrates the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Entente Cordiale. 

Struck from 22 carat gold (0.917 fineness), the coin contains 1.177 troy ounces of the precious metal. Each of these coins is struck to a proof finish, making them ideal for collectors.

The coin comes issued in a presentation box, accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity from The Royal Mint. 

Only 1,500 of these coins were minted. 

The Entente Cordiale

The Entente Cordiale was a colonial-era agreement signed by the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Lansdowne, and the French Ambassador, Paul Cambon, in London on 8 April 1904 with the aim of settling long-standing disputes between the UK and France in countries such as Morocco, Egypt, Siam, Madagascar, the New Hebrides, West and Central Africa and Newfoundland. It actually had a wider significance in that it also represented a shift from a history overshadowed by conflict and rivalry to a sustained era of rapprochement and alliance.

The agreements were crucial in paving the way for Franco-British diplomatic and military cooperation in the lead-up to World War One. 

Here is a list of some of the events which took place to honour the milestone.

Excellent prices for unwanted gold.

Disposing of some unwanted gold jewellery and I found Chards to be very fair, open and honest, and trustworthy. The whole process was efficient, friendly, and comfortably quick, and I felt a valued client. I recommend them to anyone, and if ever I need to sell old gold again I shall certainly return.

Look no further for buying silver or gold.

As always a smooth transaction, items arrived well packaged and as described, usually better than described. I use Chards when purchasing silver coins and bars because they are trusted and a well established family firm, also never overpriced.
