Explore our range of British Crown Coins, featuring iconic UK commemorative crowns struck in Proof condition. This category includes a wide selection of Royal Mint base metal crowns and collector issues from the mid-20th century through to modern commemorative releases, many of which celebrate major Royal events and national milestones.

These crown coins represent one of the most recognisable areas of British numismatics. Originally valued at five shillings (later 25p in early decimal issues), crowns were issued for important occasions rather than general circulation, making them highly collectable by design.

This category includes classic and modern crown issues such as:

  • 1951 Festival of Britain Crown
  • 1953 Coronation Crown
  • 1960 British Exhibition Crown (New York)
  • 1972 Silver Wedding Crown and 1977 Silver Jubilee Crown
  • 1902 Edward VII Coronation Crown
  • 1887 Victoria Crowns

These issues are widely collected in proof finish, proof examples struck to a higher standard featuring superior detail and presentation with stronger appeal.

Collectors are especially drawn to British crowns for their:

  • Large, impressive format and detailed designs
  • Strong Royal and national commemorative themes
  • Proof Condition
  • Historic significance across major 20th-century events
  • Accessibility as entry-level and advanced collector pieces

Many of these coins were also issued as part of Royal Mint presentation packs and special sets, with proof versions often featuring enhanced striking quality and limited mintages, making them particularly desirable in higher grades.

At The London Coin Company, we offer a carefully selected range of British Crown Coins in Proof condition, including individual issues, graded examples, and complete commemorative runs.

Whether you are looking for:

  • 1951–1981 commemorative crowns
  • Proof Royal Mint crown issues

  • Complete themed crown collections

…you’ll find a curated selection suitable for both new collectors and experienced numismatists.

British crown coins combine historical Royal events with large-format design and strong collector demand, making them one of the most visually impressive and historically rich areas of modern British coin collecting.
