1889 British crown - Queen Victoria Jubilee Head:   Posting this today as it was the first coin I ever got for Christmas! My parents gave it to me in 1969 and I remember unwrapping the Christmas paper to find a box of sticking-plasters! (My parents had a funny sense of humour!) Inside the box was this coin in a flip!

Nice example!  But that is not the kind of "crown" we are looking for in this topic.  Quote: So, there are a few definitions for what a "crown" is. Properly, it's a large silver British pre-decimal coin worth 5 shillings, or 1/4 of a pound. However, since decimalization, these have been made with a value of 25 pence (later increased to 5 pounds). And some people apply this definition to any large silver coin (such as silver dollars or silver pesos or silver 5-franc coins). To make things more confusing, some crowns aren't even made of silver, such as the British 1951 crown made of copper-nickel, and numerous copper-nickel coins from 1960s Africa. Still, everyone loves large coins, so I thought I would make a thread for showing them off in.
