Sign for the Three Crowns
This sign is interpreted in various ways by sign painters. In some instances the reference is to the Magi, the three wise men, who may have been astrologers, but are often called kings, who came to Bethlehem to visit the Christ child. Later signs add a portrait of James I and refer to his being the first monarch to rule over England, Scotland and Wales. In some instances the sign refers heraldically to the Worshipful Company of Drapers (1364). Elsewhere the sign has become three coins, a reminder that in London the nickname for a Three Crowns pub commonly Fifteen Bob or Fifteen Shillings, a crown being worth five shillings.
