We are frequently asked why the 1972 crown, and others do not carry a mark of value. It may be more relevant to ask why it is necessary for most modern coins to carry a statement of their value. In bygone times, most people knew what coins were worth, they did not need to rely on an inscription on the coin to inform them. This would be an interesting subject for further study. These coins belong to Britain’s predecimal past. Their designs evoke fond memories of a time when twelve pennies made a shilling and twenty shillings made a pound. Today, having lived with decimal currency for over half a century, that coinage system seems distant, but it’s worth remembering that pounds, shillings and pence had been in use for over a thousand years. From the introduction of the first crown in 1544, crowns did not carry a mark of value. Only briefly did crowns ever carry such a mark, the occasions being as follows, very rare Charles I Scarborough siege coinage, Commonwealth (1649 - 1660) crowns, and Charles II second issue hammered gold crowns. The value mark on all these was a letter "V", the Roman numeral for 5. Apart from these, the first time that crowns bore a denomination was from 1927, when the word "CROWN" appeared on them. We offer a wide range of collectable and investment coins in pre-owned and brand-new condition. As our name suggests, we focus on British coins (from hammered metal-detecting finds to modern Royal Mint issues) with a healthy selection of pieces from international mints too. All the coins we sell are 100% guaranteed authentic and, where relevant, are individually certified. Decimalisation had a profound impact on the currency as the sub-units of the pound were changed. Prior to decimalisation, one pound was worth 20 shillings, and one shilling was worth 12 pence meaning one pound was 240 pence.
