Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 11/06/2011 7:53 pm I agree with 10x, except as to value. Crowns (nominal value, five shillings) of that era are extremely rare in any grade better than yours. So, yours is quite "collectable" - at least $50 worth. There are two varieties: the difference being the edge inscription, but I'm not aware if one variety is scarcer, or more sought-after, than the other. metal composition: "sterling silver" 92.5% Edited by Peter THOMAS 11/06/2011 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I wouldn't say it's extremely rare though - there are 25 on ebay at the moment. In this condition it's really only going to be slightly above melt if there is any premium at all.
