The 1937 Crown - George VISilver (50%) 1937 crown from the Coronation year of King George VI.
Obverse designer Humphrey Paget had already completed the design for Edward VIII but due the abdication his coins were never seen by the public. To make matters worse, Paget was given just one month to complete the portrait of George VI. He did so with triumph and the new King's head proved to be a classic design.
As is common in the coronation year, Proof versions were also issued and in addition there was a frosted 'VIP' proof together with a very rare Matt Proof coin.
Diameter is 38.61mm and weight is 28g. SCBC 4078.
The Reverse shows an ornately designed crowned coat-of-arms. The word CROWN appears below with the date 1937.Coin shown is graded as VF.
