George V (1910-1936), Crown, 1936 (ESC 381; S 4036). Slight surface marks, good extremely fine (£150-200)

One of the unexplained mysteries of ESC is why P. Alan Rayner gave a rarity rating of ‘S’ to the 1932 Crown with a mintage of 2,395, but a rating of ‘R’ to that of 1936 which has a slightly larger mintage of 2,473
