History
The 1964 Bermuda Crown was issued to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Bermuda's settlement and colonization. This large silver coin features Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and the Bermuda coat of arms with a sailing ship on the reverse, dated 1964. The crown denomination was a prestigious commemorative issue struck in 50% silver with an actual silver weight of 0.3636 troy ounces.

The 1964 Bermuda Crown is valued for its historical significance marking Bermuda's colonial heritage, its attractive design featuring maritime imagery, and its silver content. Collectors of crown-sized coins and those interested in mid-20th century commemorative issues find these pieces especially desirable for their combination of historical importance and aesthetic appeal.
