Description: Fabulous piece of coin art. Fashioned from a genuine 1887 Queen Victoria jubilee sterling coin. The British crown, the successor to the English crown and the Scottish dollar, came into being with the Union of the kingdoms of England and Scotland in 1707. As with the English coin, its value was five shillings. Always a heavy silver coin weighing around one ounce, during the 19th and 20th centuries the crown declined from being a real means of exchange to being a coin rarely spent and minted for commemorative purposes only. In that format it has continued to be minted, even following decimalisation of the British currency in 1971. However, as the result of inflation the value of the coin was revised upwards in 1990 to five pounds. Found in the John Hicks estate. Condition consistent with age and as pictured. The pin has been separated. It is included and repairs will need to be made if you wish to restore it. I will offer a certificate of authenticity upon request.
