This Choice Extremely Fine 1-Crown silver coin was issued to celebrate King George V’s Silver Jubilee—25 years on the throne. It features the unique “rocking horse” design of St. George slaying the Dragon, formal medieval style and an exclusive edge-lettered inscription. The reverse features the profile bust of this king.

Son of Edward VII and grandson of Queen Victoria, George V ruled Great Britain from 1910 until his death in 1936. He saw Britain through the dark days of WWI, while gaining popularity and the loyalty of his countrymen.
