1893 Victoria Great Britain Silver LVI Crown MS63

Description

The 1893 Great Britain Crown is an impressive large silver coin struck during the later years of Queen Victoria’s reign, a period marked by imperial strength and global influence. Certified NGC MS63, this Mint State example remains uncirculated, exhibiting strong detail, original lustre, and pleasing eye appeal.
The obverse features the Veiled Head portrait of Queen Victoria designed by Sir Thomas Brock, accompanied by the Latin legend affirming her titles as Queen and Empress of India. The reverse showcases Benedetto Pistrucci’s celebrated depiction of St. George slaying the dragon, one of the most iconic designs in British coinage.

Struck in .925 sterling silver and measuring 38.6 mm in diameter, the crown was primarily used for ceremonial purposes and special transactions rather than everyday circulation. Its large size and historic design make it a centerpiece coin for collectors. This well-preserved Victorian crown offers enduring appeal for those assembling British silver, crown-size coins, or world coin collections.
