Collectable 1892 Queen Victoria Jubilee Head silver Crowns (S 3921, Bull 2592, ESC 302). Just 451,334 Crown coins were struck for circulation in 1892 at the Royal Mint, then based on Tower Hill in London. These large, sterling silver coins were minted with a portrait of Queen Victoria by Joseph Edgar Boehm. The so-called Jubilee Head portrait was introduced in 1887, but 1892 would mark its final appearance on a silver Crown since the controversial effigy was replaced in 1893. The reverse of 1892 Crowns features a design with more staying power: Benedetto Pistrucci's Saint George and the dragon engraving. Created for the coinage of King George III, this reverse can still be seen on modern British collector's coins being issued today.

Description Specification Summary

Jubilee Head Portrait Of Queen Victoria

The portrait on the obverse of these 1892 coins is the work of Joseph Edgar Boehm. The so-called Jubilee Head portrait depicts Queen Victoria wearing a small crown and a long lace veil. The inscription around the effigy reads 'VICTORIA D: G: BRITT: REG: F: D:'.

Saint George And The Dragon Reverse

Benedetto Pistrucci's classic St George and the dragon engraving is used on the reverse of these 1892 Crowns. Today, this design is most closely associated with gold Sovereigns but it was used on a range of Crown coins through the 19th century.

Sterling Silver British Currency Coin

In the Victorian period, Crowns were made from solid .925 sterling silver. These large British coins measure 38.6 millimetres from milled edge to milled edge and weigh approximately 28.28 grams.

How Many Crowns Were Minted In 1892?

Records show that just 451,334 silver Crowns were struck at the Royal Mint in the 1892 calendar year. This was the final Crown date struck with the Jubilee Head portrait, as the Widowed Head bust was introduced in the following year.
