Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1831-1834 William IV Silver Crown is that it was minted during a time of great change in the British monetary system. The coin was introduced following the Great Recoinage of 1816, which saw the introduction of the gold sovereign and the transition from the traditional silver crown to a new decimal system. Despite being minted for only four years, the William IV Silver Crown is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
