The 1887 British Crown (Five Shillings), or any other British Crown, should not have any holes in them at all. You can only assume that somebody has drilled the holes deliberately as a means of mounting the coin as an ornament or a piece of jewellery, etc.

Modified coins have no collector value.

One 1900 silver crown one 1935 silver crown one 1890 silver crown?

These coins vary in silver content. The 1890 and 1900 crowns are .925 silver and have a scrap value of around £15 each. If they are in high grade then they could be worth as much as £150 - £250. The 1900 crown was the last to be struck in the reign of Queen Victoria. It has a REGNAL YEAR on the edge which can either be LXIII or LXIV (this is the number of years Victoria had reigned as Queen in Roman Numerals). The LXIII is the rarer of the two varieties. The 1935 crown was struck in 0.500 silver (half silver) and was struck in relatively large numbers (over 700,000) to commemorate the 25th annivesary of King George 5th's reign with Queen Mary. They are also known as the 'Rocking Horse' crown with the strong art deco influence (a remake of the Benedetto Pistrucci's original St George slaying the dragon). Value would be around £10 - £20 GBP depending on condition. There are a small number (2,500) of 1935 crowns with a RAISED EDGE. These are PROOF coins and were issued in boxes - they can make £500 - £600 GBP (2012 values).


Is there a picture of an 1895 British Crown?

Yes, I just happen to have one. All British Crown coins from 1893 to 1900 are just about identical. The "Regnal Date" on the edge will be either LVIII or LIX. See the link below.

How do you distinguish the silver coin?

You can tell a coin is silver by either looking at the edge and finding it a uniform silver color (with no darker colors) or by finding a dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar with a date from before 1965. They now make silver versions of the dime, quarter and half, but only in proof sets.

What is the value of a 1900 Queen Victoria St George silver Halfcrown?

Halfcrown coins do not have St George on them. Please have a closer look at your coin and post a new question. It is possible that you may have a crown and not a halfcrown. The crown's value would be anywhere from £15 (scrap value) to £350 in mint condition. Check the edge too to see which REGNAL YEAR (number of years the queen has been on the throne in Roman Numerals). It could be either LXIII or LXIV. The LXIII is rarer.

What was an Australian crown worth in currency when it was in common usage?

1937 and 1938 were the only years the "Crown" coin was released for general circulation in Australia. There were 100,000 minted. Their composition was 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. They had a milled edge, weighed 28.27 grams and were 38.5 mm in diameter. One Crown equals five Shillings. At the conversion to decimal currency in 1966, five Shillings converted to 50 cents. In 1937 you could probably do your week's grocery shopping with one Crown.
