I previously showed you a 1889 Great Britain Queen Victoria Large Crown. Here's a second Crown from Great Britain.

This time around the sovereign is George VI.

During the Festival of Britain, a huge quantity of the 1951 Crown (5 shillings) copper-nickel coin was produced. The number of pieces struck exceeded 2 million. These are valid tender that is not in circulation. The designs are in regular relief on the coins, which have highly polished fields that give them a proof-like appearance.

The left-facing head of George VI is depicted on the coin. The inscriptions in Latin is: George VI, by the Grace of G-d, King of all the Britians, Defender of the Faith. Below it is FIVE SHILLINGS.

The famous Benedetto Pistrucci painting of St. George defeating a dragon from the 19th century is depicted on the reverse, and the year 1951.

In 1951, just six years after World War II, Britain’s towns and cities still showed the scars of war that remained a constant reminder of the turmoil of the previous years. With the aim of promoting the feeling of recovery, the Festival of Britain opened to the public on the 4th May 1951, celebrating British industry, arts and science and inspiring the thought of a better Britain. This also happened to be the same year they celebrated the centenary, almost to the day, of the 1851 Great Exhibition.
