| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Imperial Crown of India is depicted in finely detailed relief at the centre of the field, rendered against a polished mirror background. The crown is shown in three-quarter frontal view, its characteristic hemispherical form adorned with elaborate jewel settings, pearls, and ornamental arches surmounted by a cross pattée atop a monde. The upper legend THE CROWN JEWELS arcs across the top of the coin, while the lower legend · THE IMPERIAL CROWN OF INDIA · curves around the base, both separated from the design by pellets. The high-relief rendering captures the intricate goldsmith work and gemstone detailing of this historic piece of British regalia, made for the Delhi Durbar of 1911. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Imperial Crown of India was created specifically for the Delhi Durbar of 1911, since existing British crowns could not legally leave the United Kingdom. George V wore it for the single occasion of his proclamation as Emperor of India — it has never been used again. The Turks and Caicos Islands issued a long-running series of commemorative crowns marking British royal regalia and ceremonial objects, this piece falling within that program during Elizabeth II's reign.
