A JAW-dropping \u00a318.47 million coin peppered with 6,426 diamonds has been unveiled in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n

Called 'The Crown – the East India Company', the sparkling wonder is stuffed with 4kg of gold and is the size of a basketball.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Despite the eye-popping fortune of its composition, the coin's face value is a measly \u00a310,000.<\/p>\n

It features a series of portraits of Her Majesty engraved on gold coins by artists Mary Gillick, Arnold Machin, Raphael Maklouf, and Ian Rank-Broadley.<\/p>\n

An astonishing pattern of custom cut diamonds weave around the portraits with a centre-piece marking The Queen's 70 years on the throne.<\/p>\n

Jody Clark's portrait of the late Monarch – who died a year ago today aged 96 – is used on the reverse side of the monster change.<\/p>\n

A global shortage of diamonds and the pandemic halted production of the coin – which is 29.5 inches in circumference – for some time.<\/p>\n

The East India Company said: "The Crown was meticulously handcrafted: the diamonds were painstakingly cut and individually placed to fit seamlessly within the design, while two distinct settings were used to mirror the flowing fabric of the British Union Jack."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The most expensive coin ever is the uber-rare "double Eagle" gold coin that went for \u00a315.17m at auction in 2021.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0rare $20 coin\u00a0was the last gold currency in the US.<\/p>\n

Other dear dimes include the 1794 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar.<\/p>\n

Only 1,800 were ever minted in the US and it features Lady Libertyand the American Eagle – one sold for over $10 million at auction in 2013.<\/p>\n

But there are a number of other rare coins still in circulation, meaning you could have a pretty penny perched in your pocket.<\/p>\n
