NEW CROWN PIECES.

On Monday morning the first issue of the new Crown
Pieces took place, not to the Public, but to the Bank clerks.
Every clerk on the establishment received one, for which he
had to sign a book.
This coin willcornplete the series of the new silver monies.
The obverse is impressed with the effigy of his Majesty, with
the inscription Georgics 111. D. C., ecc. and the reverse has
the figure of St. George encountering the Dragon, surrounded
by the Garter. 'rue edge of the piece is marked in raised
letters, with the words 'decus et tatamen," and the year ul
the King's reign. The head of the King is modelled in the
antique style, after the character of the Gs seks, and combines
with the gracefulness of the design. the heat and most pleas-
ing likoess of his Majesty that has yet appeared upon our
coins. In lieu of the Royal Arms, which afford no scope for
the ing ty of the artist, the subject of the legendary tale
of St. George and the Dragon has been adopted for the re-
verse, and is a well chosen and pleasing allegory, suited to
the occorierices of the times. In the image of the tutelary
saint of England, mounted on a spirited horse, and trampling
is
which has been booker' in the encounter, while the Hero
prepares to renew the attack with the sword, is displayed
sn übviiiiis allegorical representation of the genius and salmis.
