Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR62 NGC, KM744, S-3883. UN DECIMO on edge. A commanding type owing its continual and lasting popularity in large part to its sensitive portrayal of a youthful Victoria, framed within gothic lettering in the legends and matched by a sublimely detailed reverse design that remains unique to the Victorian issues. Attractively toned with silver dominant throughout the fields, this feature giving way to tinges of orange-gold coloration when tilted toward light.
