Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR64 NGC, KM744, S-3883, ESC-2571. UN DECIMO on edge. A joint numismatic effort between the venerated engraver William Wyon and Queen Victoria herself that has come to enjoy unparalleled glorification in recent years. Unlike most cabinet "Gothic" Crowns, this piece acquired a particularly spicy palette of tones, with phoenix orange and pomegranate gripping the legends and parts of Victoria's effigy. The reverse faces up particularly fine, laden with frost that augments the presence of the quartered arms against more pondlike peripheries. Altogether, a premium selection sure to inspire fervent bidding.
