1900 VICTORIA LXIV CROWN

The 1900 Victoria LXIV Crown is one of the final silver crowns of Queen Victoria’s reign, struck in the 64th regnal year and carrying the mature Veiled Head (Old Head) portrait by Sir Thomas Brock. Issued at the Royal Mint in sterling silver (.925), it represents the closing chapter of Victorian crown coinage and remains a highly collectable late‑19th‑century type.

The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon, a design that has defined British crown coinage since 1817. The edge inscription “LXIV” denotes the regnal year and distinguishes this variety from the LX and LXI crowns of earlier dates.

The 1900 crown is admired for its substantial flan, elegant design, and its place at the end of the Victorian era. Examples with attractive tone, strong detail, and clean fields are increasingly sought after by collectors of British silver and pre‑decimal crown series.
