The Royal Mint did not produce any Crown coins for circulation from 1848 to 1886 inclusive.
A British 1879 sterling silver Crown (Five Shillings)(Victoria - young head)(Proof FDC), is excessively rare and could fetch a very high price if it remains in mint condition.
I suggest you wrap the coin up and take it to a reputable coin dealer who will be able to give a valuation based on inspection and positive identification of the coin.

Are there any genuine silver dollars with the face facing backwards?
True silver dollars were minted from 1794 to 1935. Dollars from 1794 - 1804 all have heads facing to the right as you look at the coin. Dollars dated after that have heads facing to the left. For a head to face contrary to this pattern would mean that it's counterfeit. The way a coin is designed and struck by the mint would preclude a genuine dollar with the head facing backwards. So the answer is no.
