Since the inception of the decimal system in Britain, the crown denomination has been used exclusively for commemorative purposes. They are minted in two metals, copper-nickel and silver. The CuNi pieces are made in large numbers for public consumption and are valued at less than a $1. There are also silver versions that are minted in considerably smaller numbers and bring between $5-$25 depending on the current interest for these coins in the market.
