Crowns

The Crown is a very old coin, with origins dating back to Henry VIII. The English Crown first appeared in 1526. It had a value of five shillings (a quarter of a pound) but in 1990 was redenominated to £5. Although still legal tender these days it is effectively a commemorative coin minted in Cupronickel but Silver and Gold are also used.
