Q: Can you tell me the value of a small metal money box about three inches high? It is painted in red and gold, is in the form of a crown and has 1953 on it. Mrs A.
A: This design of money box was manufactured to mark the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and was produced in large quantities. Examples do crop up quite frequently around the antiques fairs and current value is about £20 for an example in good condition.
