Crown

The first English coin of this denomination was issued by Henry VIII in 1526. It was a gold coin with a face value of four shillings and sixpence. It is very rare because it was shortly replaced with the Crown of the Double Rose, which has a face value of five shillings. The first silver crown was issued in 1551 by Edward VI and the last crown to be issued was in 1981, for the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer.
