The 1951 Crown - Festival of BritainTo celebrate the centennial of the Great Exhibition of 1851 it was decided that in 1951 there would be a national exhibition to celebrate the achievements of Great Britain. It was known as the Festival of Britain.
This was the first cupro-nickel Crown to be issued. There were four variants: A standard but 'proof-like' crown; a Frosted VIP proof; a Matt proof; and a plain edge proof. The Matt proof is by far the most expensive.
Obverse shows bare head of George VI, designed by T Humphrey Paget (initials HP by neck). Reverse is Pistrucci's George and the Dragon.
