1601 Crown – Elizabeth I - Elizabeth I silver (0.925) crown. It is said to be the Sixth issue, minted at the Tower mint (London Mint). It is undated but was struck around 1601-1602 as crowns were only issued in those years.

1718 Crown – George I - The 1718 crown coin is an overstrike of the 1716 crown coin which means the '8' is stamped over the '6' in the date. It's less expensive for the Mint to modify dies to do this for small batches as there is no need to create totally new dies.
