TheBritish crown, the successor to theEnglish Crownand theScottish Dollar, came into being with the Union of the kingdoms ofEnglandandScotlandin 1707. As with the English coin, its value was fiveshillings.
Always a heavy silver coin weighing about oneounce, during the 19th and 20th centuries the Crown declined from being a real means of exchange to being a coin rarely spent and minted for commemorative purposes only. In that format it has continued to be minted, even following decimalisation of the British currency in 1971. However, as the result of inflation the value of the coin was revised upwards to fivepounds.
The coin\'s origins lay in theEnglish silver crown, one of manysilver coinsthat appeared in various countries from the 16th century onwards, the most famous example perhaps beingpieces of eight, all of which were of a similar size and weight (approx 38mm diameter and containing approx 25grams offine silver) and thus interchangeable in international trade.[1]The kingdom of England also minted gold Crowns in the 16th and 17th centuries.
