Great Britain
Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR66 PCGS, Royal mint, KM744, S-3883. "UNDECIMO" edge. A revered issue produced with superb craftsmanship. The deeply impressed portrait of the Queen is stunning, with highpoint frost that highlights the intricate engraving throughout her brocade and crisp-edged legends that border the periphery. The watery mirrors are filled with a mélange of opalescent hues that create a colorful, albeit subtle, backdrop to the raised elements, and the recessed fields are absent any individual marks that require mention. A true Gem with an elevated level of eye appeal that immediately lures the viewer in, currently of the highest caliber in terms of certified technical quality, and every bit worthy of type set placement in the finest cabinets of British Crowns.
