Where can I find more info on this coin? Thank you for your help. It was on ebay listed as 1 crown 1911. [eBayItem]250361233661[/eBayItem] I just cant find any info on the coin around the net or in the standard catalog.

Most likely it's just a commemorative copper medal of George V's coronation. Nothing special; probably made in the after the 1911 coronation
Rest in Peace

Well, now my eyes hurt. Could it be Maundy money?

No, it's not Maundy money. Maundy money isn't crown-sized, and the design hasn't changed for hundreds of years: the reverse always depicts the denomination inside a wreath, with a crown on top.

I don't know whether this is an unofficial fantasy pattern crown or a commemorative medal, but it's not an officially issued coin. It's not listed in my Krause catalogue of "unusual" coins.

Well I guess it is in the Unusual coins guide the number is BrX#94b or so the seller told me. But you where right about the Fantasy pattern. Thank you all for your help.
