Silver Crown Coinage of the World
28
objects, created on 27 Dec 2021
This collection is going to be composed of only Crown-sized coinage from around the world.
Crowns are very collectible. They feature a large canvas for the engraver to work with and frequently are produced with beautiful results. I'm going to limit this to pre-1964 pieces. Ultra-modern issues may be highlighted in a future collection.
