A Royal Coin with a Short Reign
Introduced in 1937 to commemorate the coronation of King George VI, the crown coin, with its regal reverse design, was intended to be a beautiful tribute to the new monarch. However, its large size made it impractical for everyday use, and it was poorly received by the public. Minting ceased in 1938 after a limited run of just over 100,000 coins, making this a relatively scarce and sought-after piece for collectors.
