From the introduction of the first crown in 1544, crowns did not carry a mark of value. Only briefly did crowns ever carry such a mark, the occasions being as follows, very rare Charles I Scarborough siege coinage, Commonwealth (1649 - 1660) crowns, and Charles II second issue hammered gold crowns. The value mark on all these was a letter "V", the Roman numeral for 5. Apart from these, the first time that crowns bore a denomination was from 1927, when the word "CROWN" appeared on them. It was also technically the first commemorative coin of the decimal era; making it clear to see why coin enthusiasts like the coin so much. A dazzling range of fine rare coins up for sale to coin collectors including guineas through to old pennies.

In 1972 Queen Elizabeth II and HRH Prince Philip celebrated their Silver Wedding (25th) Anniversary. They had been married in 1947 and at the time no British coin was issued to celebrate the event. However, in 1972 it was decided to celebrate their anniversary with the issue of a commemorative crown coin. The 1972 crown was the first British coin to have a face value of 25 pence. Previous crowns had been Five Shillings face value. The absence of an inscription denoting the face value now causes some confusion, particularly because, as from 1990, it appears to have been decided that future crowns would assume a Five Pounds face value. It’s important to note that the coins were not issued for standard circulation, as the Crown became much more of a commemorative coin in the 20th century compared to centuries before when it was an ordinary circulating coin that would be used in daily life. Does This Mean It Is Rare? Our experts want to make selling your coins a stress-free experience. They're ready to provide transparent valuations for your old coins: whether that's an individual piece or a large collection.

For many collectors these effigies will be reminiscent of the coins of William and Mary, and of the medals of Victoria and The Prince Consort.
