First one 1880 1/2 Crown. Some dings on the rim but it looked so good. It kept calling out to me.

Next was this 1889 Crown that was saved from a piece of jewelry. I just love the reverse.

And last. This coin was listed as a 1820 Shilling. I think I did OK.

BV plus a bit all three have problems.

The most valuable would be the 2/6
Victorian crown is damaged so just BV
The George 111 crown has been harshly cleaned

The 'belt' is a garter shane. It represents the Most Noble Order of the Garter. It appears on many British coins, such as this one:
