... if it fits into the largest-size 2x2 (39mm), it's a "crown". If it fits in the next size down (35mm) ... Next size 2x2's is 37.5  , or, at least, that's what I use. |

Thank you all for those clear inputs  very interesting indeed am now revising my thread to include half crowns (33mm thanks Sap, and below) as there are unavailable crown size for some countries (India is one) which really makes the thread impossible to complete  How does that sound?  Its become a toss up between a collection of: crown sized (and incomplete OFEC) Or complete OFEC but mixed sizes  |

Nice collecting strategy! No limit particular period?

My personal definition: if it fits into the largest-size 2x2 (39mm), it's a "crown". Define "fits". I can put a dime in a dollar size 2X2. Edited by Conder101

We're talking about the "best fit", like regression in Statistics.

I stick to the 38 to 41mm range even that is way to many coins to ever hope to have one of each...

I was always under the impression that a crown was the largest coin of that particular country.....See how wrong you can be!Although it still could be a true statement!

This would be the "crown" of Rwanda-Burundi, at 20.5 mm.  |

Thanks Svslav those countries do pose some collecting difficulty, as I have to wait for their commemoratives, which usually is crown size |

Thank you nohope, yes sticking to the 38mm to 41mm diameter range is interesting specially when they are in the album all together. Middle eastern countries, their coins (silvers and commemoratives) dont reach crown size, only up to 34mm.... another album perhaps?  |
