Best Of

I bought these a year ago, but never showed them here. They are US pieces made by the Knights Templar of Philadelphia. There is some relation to Mexico and I bought them for the beautiful rendition of the Mexican eagle on the reverse. They seem scarce as I’ve not seen them before.

Bronze NGC MS64:

White metal (raw):

The first two came from the same dealer in the UK. I had a program I managed in the UK so I flew there about every 3-4 months. I always made time to see him.

This one was one of the first ones I bought a few years ago out of a Heritage auction.

While not Victoria I did want to add this one. Same source as the first two. Interesting back story. My UK dealer was in France and stopped by a antique shop. They had 5 of the 1817 1/2 Crowns. I saw him a few days later and I got to pick the best one, should have bought them all!

Ms 64, old white ngc. My only half crown 👑
