My First Silver Crown

I always loved queen victoria coinage & if it wasnt for ancients, I would solely collect her. One thing I never owned was a big silver british crown & I saw this coin & HAD TO HAVE IT. I loved the toning & all.

Where a coin speaks, this one shouted.

Huge props to Josh of Civitas Galleries. He's always a pleasure to deal with!

    Nice Jubilee Head Victoria Crown. I have the Jubilee head and Veiled Head versions, and I'm casually looking for a decent Young Head version.

    Its easy to build sets of her. Very tempting but I have to restrain myself.
