Crown

William III, 1694-1702, Crown, 1696, Edge OCTAVO. Very Fine

Charles II, 1660-1685. Crown, 1664, Regnal Year XVI. Very Good condition.

There are three main types of Queen Victoria Sterling Silver Crowns, Young Head, Jubilee Head and Old Head. It is the last type of Queen Victoria Silver Crown dated 1895 that we are now offering you. Old head crowns are much more difficult to find than the Jubilee Head type. The Old Head design was used from 1893-1900, after which time Queen Victoria died and her son Edward VII took over. These Crowns are 38mm in diameter, struck in Sterling Silver (925 fine) and are in Very Good or better condition. We always send you the best example that we have in stock, when your order arrives. So the earlier you order the better your chances of getting a slightly better example.

We have only a small quantity of this 1937 George VI Crown, this is one of only two crowns of Australia. All are in Very Fine. If you need one, please get in as quickly as possible. When they are gone, they are gone; there will be no more…

Iknow it sounds strange, what with the Royal Mint issuing commemorative coins almost daily, but the first commemorative coin for this country was the 1935 Crown. It was issued to honour the Silver Jubilee of King George V 1910-1935. There were no other commemorative coins for this country before the 1935 Crown, although we still don’t know about the Gothic Crown. It has a rather unusual rendition of St. George slaying the dragon and we were the first people to say it looked like a rocking horse. From then it rapidly became known as ‘The Rocking Horse Crown’. You must remember that this country was in depression as was the rest of the world, so a Crown or Five Shilling piece was a lot of money at the time. We have some nice Extremely Fine examples of this first ever British commemorative Crown to offer you. Extremely Fine is a very high grade and considering the coin is now 83 years old, we think it is a winner.

Anne, 1702-1714, Crown, Second Bust, 1707. Good Fine.
