The 1549-1550 Gold Crown - Edward VIGold crown (5 shilling) coin of Edward VI, minted around 1549 or early 1550 at the Royal Mint (known as the Tower Mint at the time). Shows Edward VI, the boy King, maybe just 9-years old. Second Period (January 1549 to April 1550). Uncrowned bust (there is a crowned bust version).
Diameter is 25mm and weighs 2.71g. SCBC: 2441. North: 1913.
The Obverse shows an uncrowned bust of a very young King Edward VI facing right. Legend is "SCVTVM FIDIE PROTEGET EVM" meaning The shield of faith shall protect him. Before the SCVTVM is the mint mark of an arrow.
The Reverse is a crowned and garnished oval Royal shield, quartered with the arms of England and France; ER divided across shield. Legend is "EDWARD VI D G AGL FR Z HIB REX +".As English gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns were minted in this period (with the same design), sometimes this coin is described as a 'quarter-sovereign', but it is a 'crown'. Both quarter-farthing and crown are valued at five shillings at the time.
