I think that large silver crown coins of Great Britain are some of the most classic of silver coins just like the gold sovereigns.

I become easily confused with the values of the many different denominations of British coins. But I do know that one crown equals five shillings.

Great Britain 5 Shillings - George VI

Commemorative issue, Festival of Britain, 1951


Obverse: Uncrowned portrait of King George VI facing left with legend around of GEORGIVS VI D:G:BR:OMN:REX F:D: FIVE SHILLINGS. (Translation: George the Sixth by the Grace of God King of all the Britains Defender of the Faith)

Beautiful specimens of a 130 years old and a 68 years old British crowns.
