Title:
Victoria Crown
Description:
Coin shows the classic British ’St George and the Dragon’ reverse: Saint George on horseback riding right, cape flowing behind, thrusting a sword downward into a dragon below; ground line and exergue with the date ’1890’ centered at bottom. Beaded/ toothed border around rim. The photographed piece appears to be mounted (a small metal lug/bail is visible at about 11 o’clock on the rim), suggesting the coin may have been converted into a pendant or jewelry mount.
This matches the United Kingdom Crown of Queen Victoria (Jubilee Head issue), dated 1890, with the reverse by Benedetto Pistrucci. Standard specifications for the 1890 UK crown are sterling silver composition (0.925), reeded edge, ~38.6 mm diameter and ~28.35 g weight; mintage commonly cited around 997,862 for 1890.
