The British 1889 Crown does not signify anything, it is a "coin of the realm", legal tender in the United Kingdom.

The British predecimal Crown was worth 5 Shillings.

The obverse shows the Jubilee bust of Queen Victoria with the abbreviated Latin inscription "VICTORIA D:G: BRITT:REG:F:D:" meaning, Victoria, by the Grace of God, British Queen, Defender of the Faith.

This inscription and variations of it, appear on all British coins and many coins of the British Empire/Commonwealth countries and changes accordingly when the king or queen changes and the state of the Empire/Commonwealth changes.

The reverse shows a mounted St. George slaying a dragon. The design was by Benedetto Pistrucci and with minor variations, has appeared on Quintuple Sovereigns, Double Sovereigns, Sovereigns, Half-Sovereigns and Crowns since 1817.
