Although these started out as genuine British circulating coins, it became fashionable at some point to create jewellery out of them.

There are examples listed on the internet of brooches, pendants, cuff links and even buttons having been made from genuine circulation coins. The enamelling is part of the jewellery making process, the coins were never minted like this.

They are not traded or collected as coins, but as jewellery, and are collectible in their own right and are attracting some relatively large prices.

In view of the collector value of an uncirculated British 1826 silver Shilling, I would prefer to have the Shilling. Modified coins have no collector value.

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.
