Crown coins and Pound notes

The first silver crown coin was minted in England in 1551 under King Edward VI. It showed the king on horseback - a very regal design indeed.

We start our range of British crown coins with the 1953 coronation crown of Elizabeth II - and it has a design reminiscent of that original 1551 crown.

The one pound banknotes we have on offer start with a relatively recent note then wind their way back in time through the wartime issue to 2 issues from the 1920's.

There are also 2 different signature issues of the famed 'white fiver' and a very interesting error note from 2002 that most people would have missed - don;t miss this chance to own one!

------
Older coins and notes vary from item to item but will be in the same general condition as the item shown.
