William IV Proof Crown 1831 PR64 NGC, KM715, S-3833, ESC-2462. Plain edge, W.W. on truncation. William IV's Crowns were produced only in Proof format in the years 1831 and 1834 (with a few other ultra-rare patterns), rendering them extremely scarce and one of the more difficult types for Crown collectors to obtain. Accordingly, this near-gem offering is sure to generate particular interest! Produced solely as part of the coronation set intended to debut Wyon's new coinage for this King, the strike has been exactly performed to maximise this talented engraver's work, full definition to William's portrait and even the most minute detail in the reverse British/Hanoverian shield boldly defined. The planchet exhibits some trace reflectivity, but the majority has handsomely toned a dappled gold-and-brown with an intense ring of deep cobalt at the peripheries, diagnostic of significant time spent in a collector's cabinet. An elite specimen, almost at the pinnacle of technical quality for the type and deserving of a place within the finest collection of British Crowns.
