The 1929 Wreath Crown - George VSilver Proof Crown of George V dated 1929, 'wreath' design, diameter 38mm and weighs 28.3g. SCBC 4036. Mintage was 4,994.
The wreath crown design was used between 1927-36 (none minted in 1935 when the 'Rocking Horse' design was used for the King's 25th Jubilee). Low mintages each year. They are beautiful coins and very collectable. The 1927 Crown was not intended for circulation (although legal tender for 5 shillings), it was a popular Christmas present at the time. The key date for Wreath Crowns is 1934, when less than a thousand were minted.
The Reverse is the Wreath Crown, designed by George Kruger Gray. It is a circle made of roses and thistles joined by pairs of smaller shamrocks with a crown in the centre. Date divided across crown. Designers initials 'KG' at bottom right. Legend is "FID DEF INT IMP CROWN" (Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India). The Crown was a 5 shillings coin, one quarter of a pound Stirling.
The Edge is milled.
The Observe, by Sir Bertram Mackennal, is a bare head portrait of King George V. Designers initials 'BM' on truncation of neck. Legend is "GEORGIVS V DEI GRAPHIC BRITT OMN REX" (George V by the Grace of God King of all Britons).Image credit: The Royal Mint
