Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR65 NGC, Royal mint, KM744, S-3883. "UNDECIMO" edge. A bold example of this revered issue, with the stunning portrait of the Queen surrounded by gothic legends, and surfaces that express incredible cabinet patination. Subtle iridescent shades of lilac and cerulean reside within the recesses and gently trace the highpoints, providing a colorful backdrop to the stylized designs; and, as one would expect at this level, the raised elements have benefitted from a superior strike. Among only a handful of elite examples noted in a certified Gem Proof classification, and surely a coin that will delight the collectors of Queen Victoria crowns.
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
