The 1898 UK Crown is a silver coin from Queen Victoria's reign, featuring her "Old Head" or "Veiled Head" portrait on the obverse. This later effigy, introduced in 1893, depicts a more mature Victoria wearing a diadem and veil. The reverse maintains the classic "St. George Slaying the Dragon" design by Benedetto Pistrucci.
