The 1902 British Crown (Five Shillings) is round, weighs 28.35 grams, is 38.6mm in diameter and is made from sterling silver.

The obverse has a right facing image of a bare headed and bearded King Edward VII with the inscription "EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA: BRITT: OMN: REX: FID: DEF: IND: IMP:" around the circumference.

The reverse has the traditional Benedetto Pistrucci design of a horse mounted, sword wielding St. George slaying a dragon.

The edge inscription is raised and reads "DECUS ET TUTAMEN ANNO REGNI II". A very few coins were struck with an error in the edge inscription.

The date is in the exergue below the dragon.
