Royal Mint special Elizabeth I coin
From the Royal Mint website:
The Royal Mint has struck a new commemorative £5 coin for 2008 with a specially designed reverse celebrating the 450th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth I. The Brilliant Uncirculated crown-sized coin bears a portrait of Elizabeth and is displayed in an attractive folder rich in imagery and background information on the reign of one of the best-loved British monarchs.
Here’s the link directly to the Queen Elizabeth coin and presentation folder.

My credit cards are still recovering from Christmas, but I might have to break down and order one too.

Does anyone know where it can be purchased, besides online?
