1927 George V Proof Crown

1927 George V Proof Crown

In 1927 the Royal Mint changed the design on our coinage, at the same time they issued the first King George V Crown. This crown was only included in the 1927 Proof Set and is thus the only Wreath Crown issued in Proof for collectors. The Wreath Crown is also known as the Christmas Crown as it was only issued at Christmas time for wealthy patrons to give as gifts. It was issued until 1936 but the 1927 issue is the only one issued in Proof.
