There were a number of crown coins issued by the Isle of Man in 1981 to celebrate Prince Charles' wedding to Lady Diana Spencer.
In Copper-Nickel (crown size - a bit bigger than an old US silver dollar), it's worth about $2.25 in uncirculated condition; in Silver (crown size - weighs 28.28g), about $12 in uncirculated and $15 in proof; in Gold, about $75 for the small coin (weighs 5.1g) and $150 for the large (weighs 7.96g) in proof; and in Platinum (big coin, weighs 52g) about $1,600 in proof.
There are two versions of each coin, by the way - one with a picture of Charles and Diana on the reverse, and one with a coat of arms on the reverse; the values, however, are the same for each.
