The 2010 Gold proof Crown (five pounds) was issued to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Restoration of the Monarchy. The Restoration of the English monarchy began in 1660 when Charles II was returned to the throne by Parliament following Cromwell’s period of rule in return for more leniency in how the country was run and changes to the religious setup.
