1935 George V Crown
Crowns were issued regularly during the reign of George V but in 1935 a special design was released to commemorate his 25th year on the throne, his Silver Jubilee. Created by Percy Metcalfe and known as the ‘rocking horse’ design due to its modern interpretation of St George slaying the dragon, it was used for that year only. The edge inscription reads ‘DECUS ET TUTAMEN ANNO REGNI XXV’, which means: An ornament and a safeguard 25 years of reign.
