Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR64 NGC, KM744, S-3883, ESC-2571. UN DECIMO on edge. Mintage: 8,000. By William Wyon. Upon first look at this offering, its easy to see why Victorian Gothic Crowns are among the most desirable numismatic creations of all-time. Even with the distinguished silhouette of antique toning beautifully blanketing the entire flan, the intricacy and refined style of every element of the engraving is immediately detectable, as is the power of the Proof quality resplendence burgeoning from the iridescent expanses. Originating from the early reign of Queen Victoria, it is named for its distinctive Gothic lettering and Revival style elements, making it stand out among Victoria's currency. Collectable at all grade points but this type becomes quite an elite collector's trophy at this near-Gem designation and its easy to see why when admired in-hand.
