Well, hold on to your hat, 1935.
The 1935 British Crown was King George V Silver Jubilee commemorative Crown and there were only about 714,000 struck. The reverse has a highly stylised "St. George and the Dragon" design and is different from all other British Crowns, and far removed from the more traditional Benedetto Pistrucci "St. George" design and the earlier George V "Wreath" design Crowns. Some refer to it as the "Rocking Horse Crown" for obvious reasons.
Since it was a commemorative coin and an unusual design, probably very few of these coins made it into circulation, or stayed in circulation for very long after their release, most ending up in collections.
The coin is also notable for a few other things -
- The incuse lettering on the edge of a very few of the general circulation coins has an error - There is a large space after "ANNO" and some missing letters. The error reads "MEN.ANNO-REGNOXXV" in lieu of "DECUS ANNO REGNI TUTAMEN.XXV."
- There was a "Specimen" striking issued in a box.
- The Proof FDC version of the coin had raised lettering on the edge, rather than incuse.
- The Proof FDC version of the coin also included the previously mentioned spelling mistake on some coins.
- There were 2,500 coins struck as "Proof in silver FDC" (0.925 silver).
- There were 28 coins struck as "Proof in gold FDC".

Did the Royal Mint strike a Georgius V silver Piedfort Crown in 1911 and if so was the Kings head on one side and a large St George and the Dragon on the reverse?
The Royal Mint did not produce any British Crown (Five Shilling) coins from 1903 to 1926 inclusive, either circulation, Proof, Proof FDC, Piedfort, etc. If the Royal Mint had produced a Crown coin in 1911, the year of the Coronation of King George V, it would have had King George V on the obverse and possibly a more regal or even personalised design on the reverse, as has been done on the Coronation of other British Monarchs. There is however, an excellent possiblity that a Crown-like souvenir medallion, token or medallette was produced in quantity for the Coronation.
