1808 New South Wales George III Retro Pattern Crown - Modern Series Reproduction, Golden Alloy

A modern retro-pattern commemorative piece from a 12-coin collection inspired by the rare W.J. Taylor patterns of the 19th century. The design references the 1808 era of New South Wales colonial coinage: the reverse features a royal crown with the text NEW SOUTH WALES and denomination 5 S. (Five Shillings), dated 1808. The portrait references the effigy of King George III by C.H. Kuchler, originally produced at Matthew Boulton's Soho Mint.

Important notice: This is NOT a genuine 1808 coin. Vendor advises this is a modern production made in Birmingham, England (near the historic site of Boulton's Soho Mint), as part of a 12-coin retro series. The original W.J. Taylor patterns it references are genuine numismatic rarities; this is a tribute reproduction series. A certificate of authenticity for the series is included. The coin has a golden alloy finish with no precious metal content claimed.

Condition: Uncirculated. Sealed in original packaging with the certificate.

A decorative collector's piece for those interested in Australian colonial numismatic history and the story of the early Soho Mint.
