Dear all
Did you know at least something about limited edition of 1 Crown - Victoria (3rd portrait) at 1951?

Thanks
Regards

Queen Victoria died in 1901, so she could not have had her portrait on a coin dating 1951.
The 1951 crown coin should have the portrait of King George VI.
Therefore, it can only be of something that has been artificially produced.
I'm just a collector of coins, not a slave to it, unless I am in a coin shop.

​Hi, Thanks for the answer. This is a reason why I ask about it. 8)

​There nothing sad about further editions in 1951. Information on the web are lack as well. Furthermore, I haven’t the Standard catalog of world coins.

So, do you sink that this is some copy?

Yes, I think the coin is fake.
No coin mint company would ever associate Queen Victoria and 1951
Queen Victoria reigned from 1837-1901 and King George VI reigned from 1937-1952
The obverse and reverse photographs look right, but not on the same coin.
Also, the coin from Queen Victoria's reign would be .925 silver, whereas the 1951 coin is copper-nickel
Hope this helps
Find KM#880 on Numista and you can see the 1951 5 shilling coin
