The Australian Crown was a coin used in the Commonwealth of Australia prior to decimalisation in 1966.
It was of similar size and weight to the British crown and was made of sterling silver for both its years of production.
The Crown was originally intended to commemorate the ascension of King Edward VIII; however, due to his abdication, it was instead struck to commemorate the ascension of King George VI.
It depicts St Edward's Crown.
The Crown quickly lost its commemorative appeal and its lack of popularity led to its production being terminated.
