George and the dragon is a classic design, but I have a soft spot for heraldry. There are so many coats of arms on British coins... but I have always thought the 1937 crown is very impressive.

Yep that crown is a beaut!

Can't say i'm struck on St George though, i've seen too many of them for my liking, the shield reverses were like a breath of fresh air!

i must admit at the risk of getting shot that one of my least favourite must be those wreath reverse threepence, sixpences and shillings... pity they didn't put the lion on crown design on the sixpence earlier (in it's George V guise), like in 1887, instead of re-adopting the lacklustre wreath design.

I see that wreath and think funeral.
