A Mixed Group of British Silver Coins
This lot comprises three British coins: a 1935 King George V silver crown, a 1916 King George V shilling and an 1887 Queen Victoria shilling. The crown bears the George V portrait with the legend GEORGIVS V DG BRITT OMN REX FD IND IMP, and its reverse shows St George on horseback, with the inscription CROWN and the date 1935 around the rim. The 1916 shilling shows the George V portrait on the obverse and, on the reverse, a crowned lion above the inscription ONE SHILLING and the date 1916. The 1887 shilling is from the Jubilee head series, with a veiled portrait of Queen Victoria inscribed VICTORIA DEI GRATIA, and a crowned shield with the Garter motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE on the reverse. The lot weighs 39.5g in total.
Condition and Collector Interest
The 1935 crown shows toning across its surface, with some marking visible on the reverse and edges. Both shillings show wear consistent with circulation, with the legends and devices still legible. The coins appear to be in their original state, with no evidence of cleaning or alteration. Together they span the reigns of Queen Victoria and King George V, making the group of interest to collectors of British silver coinage and those building a representative set of early twentieth-century and Victorian coins.
