United Kingdom. George VI. Crown, 1937. Silver (.500). 28.28g. 38.6mm.

Reverse: Crowned quartered shield of arms between lion and unicorn supporters. Date below. Legend: FID DEF IND IMP.
Struck to commemorate the coronation year of King George VI following the abdication of Edward VIII.
A large and impressive traditional British crown with bold heraldic reverse and strong eye appeal.
-
Strong portrait detail
-
Full shield definition
-
Good hair detail on the King
-
Some light handling marks/cabinet friction
-
Not fully mint state due to surface marks
I would comfortably grade this:
EF to aEF (Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated)
Closer to aEF in my opinion.
It’s not UNC because of the light surface marks, but it’s clearly better than standard EF.
