I'm curious about the composition of crown coins. I want to know what materials they are made of, whether it's a specific type of metal or an alloy of different metals. Are they mostly gold, silver, or something else entirely?

In the years following, from 1947 to 1970, the Crown was made of cupronickel, a copper-nickel alloy. This material was used to replace silver due to its scarcity during wartime.

The composition of the Crown has changed over time. From 1816 to 1919, it was made of 92.5% silver. However, during the period from 1920 to 1946, the silver content was reduced to 50%.

The Crown has been in circulation since 1707 and was minted until 1981. It has served as a symbol of British currency for centuries.

The obverse design of the Crown features a profile of the monarch who was ruling at the time of minting. For example, the Victoria "jubilee head" design is one of the most well-known versions of the coin.
