The 1819 Crown - George IIIFollowing on from the New Coinage in 1816, Matthew Boulton and James Watt created steam-powered machines to produce good quality coins using silver content that was well below the face value of the coin. This design was minted 1818-1820 and is a large (37.6mm), attractive coin. Weight is 28.28g. SCBC: 3787.
The Reverse, by Benedetto Pistrucci, shows an image of St George and the Dragon enclosed in a garter. The design is often associated with gold sovereigns. The legend is "Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense", which is the motto of the Order of the Garter and means Shame on anyone who thinks evil of it.
Edge is inscribed. Number is LIX or LX showing the year of reign. There are several variations such as no Stops on edge, no Stops after TUTAMEN, a thicker ruled border and there is a 1819/8 overstrike.
The Obverse shows a portrait of King George III, also by Benedetto Pistrucci. Note the use of Britanniarum Rex for King of Britain.Image credit: The Royal Mint
