Mr. David Davis
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if Her Majesty's Government have plans to issue any new commemorative coins.
Mr. Major
Her Majesty the Queen has been graciously pleased to approve my recommendation that a special £5 crown be issued to commemorate the 90th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. There will be a normal version of the coin issued at face value, and collectors' versions in precious metal and base metal, issued at a premium.
