Provenance: Timothy Millett FPL 2001 (94).
Windsor’s new Theatre Royal, on Thames street, opened on 22 August 1815, replacing a previous theatre on the High street which had opened in 1793 but closed in 1805. By the mid-19th century it had fallen into a dirty and dilapidated state and in March 1869 it was bought by a Mr J. Fremantle, who renovated and altered the building under the direction of the architect George Somers Leigh Clarke (1822-82). In his remodelling Clarke added a royal box in the expectation that Victoria and other members of the royal family would patronise the theatre. By 1900 it was known as the Theatre Royal and Opera House, but it burnt down on 18 February 1908.
Three other specimens are known to the cataloguer, all of which are fashioned from coins of George III
