Crown

In the short reign of King Edward VII, only one crown was ever made, that was in 1902 for his Coronation. They have his bare head on one side and St. George slaying the dragon on the other side. They are struck in Sterling Silver and the mintage was just 250,000 Crowns. This is a very important type coin, because if you want an Edward VII Crown you have to get a 1902 one or none at all. We have been building our supplies up again and finally have enough to offer this Edward VII Crown in Fine and in Very Fine condition. The choice is yours, but supplies are very limited.

1902 Coronation Crown struck in silver, the only crown of King Edward VII, offered here in Fine.

George III Sterling Silver Crown (1818-1820) offered in Very Good condition. A very important coin as it was the first of the ‘new’ coinage to be struck.

In 1816 the government made all of the older coins no longer legal tender. They then issued a whole series of new coins, which were of course legal tender. This is the first type of Crown or Five Shillings to be issued for King George III. They are struck in Sterling Silver and were issued only from 1818-1820. This coin is now proving very hard to get and it has been some time since we last had enough to offer them. Dates of our choice and this coin is available in different grades. A very important coin as it was the first of the ‘new’ coinage to be struck.
