Victoria aluminium Proof Pattern Crown 1887 PR63 Cameo NGC, ESC-2690 (R5), L&S-89. By J. Rochelle Thomas for Spink & Son. Edge marked MADE IN BAVARIA. Intended to be implemented as Victoria's Golden Jubilee Crown, this design is a marked separation from previous Crown designs, with a three-quarter bust of the Queen and unusual edge borders. Struck in a variety of metals (all of which are very rare), here represented in aluminium, supposedly one of just 10 struck. Highly reflective surfaces of bright silver backlight the frostier and intricate devices, the fields speckled with contact marks and one notable line of small digs in front of Victoria's portrait. Extremely scarce and hardly ever offered in this metal, a piece for the true academic collector of British Crowns.
