Graded by PCGS, this 1818 silver Crown is a handsome example of early 19th-century British coinage and one of the most sought-after issues from the last coinage of King George III's reign. Struck in 1818, this coin bears the Roman numerals 'LVIII' (58) to the edge, indicating the regnal year, and showcases two celebrated designs by Italian artist Benedetto Pistrucci. His commanding laureate portrait of the monarch appears on the obverse, while the reverse carries his dynamic Saint George and the Dragon design, an image that has become iconic among numismatists and is today associated with the Sovereign series. This highly collectable piece is presented sealed in its PCGS holder, confirming its authenticity and superior state of preservation.

Laureate Bust Of King George 

The obverse of this Crown coin displays Benedetto Pistrucci's bold right-facing portrait of King George III, crowned with a laurel wreath and surrounded by the Latin inscription 'GEORGIUS III D: G BRITANNIARUM REX F: D:' with the date below.

Saint George And The Dragon

On the reverse, Pistrucci's enduring composition of Saint George mounted on horseback defeating a dragon is enclosed within the motto of the Order of the Garter: 'HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE'. This engraving remains one of the defining designs in British numismatic history.

Edge Inscription: Regnal Year LVIII

The edge bears the raised lettering 'DECUS ET TUTAMEN ANNO REGNI LVIII', indicating that this Crown was struck in the 58th year of George III's rule—an important detail distinguishing this early variety from later issues.

Struck at the Royal Mint in London, these coins were produced in .925 sterling silver, weighing 28.28 grams with a diameter of 37.6 millimetres.
