| Reverse description | The Royal Arms of George III displayed on a quartered shield, surmounted by a large imperial crown richly detailed with fleurs-de-lis and cross pattée. The heraldic shield quarters include the arms of England (lions passant guardant), Scotland (lion rampant), Ireland (harp), and Hanover (horse), supported by lion and unicorn supporters, with the date 1808 divided on either side of the shield. The circumferential Latin legend INCORRUPTA FIDES VERITASQUE (meaning 'an untarnished faith and truth') runs around the periphery, bordered by a prominent milled or toothed rim. The entire design closely replicates the reverse of the Küchler-engraved pattern crown of 1808. |

| Additional information |
This is a modern fantasy piece, not a historical Crown. The aluminium composition and 2007 date place it firmly outside any official Royal Mint production for George III, who died in 1820. Issues of this type — typically struck by private mints or souvenir producers invoking historical monarchs — carry no legal tender status and were never sanctioned by the issuing authority named on the coin.
