背面描述	The crowned Royal Shield of Arms displayed centrally, surmounted by a jewelled St. Edward's Crown. The quartered shield bears the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Hanover, rendered in fine engraved detail within an ornate cartouche. The surrounding peripheral legend INCORRUPTA FIDES VERITASQUE arcs around the field, all contained within a beaded border. The die is oriented in medal alignment, and the reverse legend appears inverted relative to the obverse, consistent with this pattern's presentation.

附加信息	The 1817 pattern crown emerged from a broader coinage reform that culminated in the Great Recoinage of 1816–1817, during which the British government finally addressed decades of debased and clipped silver in circulation. Benedetto Pistrucci had recently arrived in London and was rapidly gaining influence at the Mint; pattern pieces from this period often served as vehicles for testing both new machinery and competing design proposals before the working dies were committed. KM#PnI77 was never adopted for circulation. Surviving examples passed largely through institutional and cabinet collections.
