Desirable George III silver Crown with 'LX' regnal year inscribed to the edge. These coins are a tribute to the work of Italian artist Benedetto Pistrucci. It's Pistrucci's large laureate head portrait of King George III that can be seen on the obverse, with the artist's ostentatious signature seen below the truncation. The reverse displays Pistrucci's instantly recognisable image of England's patron saint, St George, slaying a dragon which is crushed beneath his horse's hooves. This design has become an enduring part of British coinage and is still used on gold Sovereigns today. It can be enjoyed to full effect on this large sterling silver coin, which is a key addition to any collection of historic Crown coins.

George III Large Laureate Head

St George And Garter Reverse

Pistrucci also designed the reverse of this Crown coin, which displays the now iconic image of Saint George on horseback, pointing his sword at a winged dragon. The motif is surrounded by a garter which reads 'HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE'.

Raised LX Regnal Year Edge

1819 Crowns feature raised lettering to the edge, which includes the regnal year. The edge of this coin reads 'DECUS ET TUTAMEN ANNO REGNI LX', indicating that it was issued in the 60th year of George III's reign.
