Crown 1935 Raised Edge Proof with edge lettering in the wrong order. Edge reads DECUS ANNO REGNI ET TUTAMEN XXV, ESC 380, Bull 3657 nFDC attractively toned, with one small nick on St. George, the portrait and St. George retaining original frosting. Comes in the red box of issue, and the finest we have offered of this key rarity. A superb example of this stunning error edge Crown, rated R5 by ESC (5-10 examples believed to exist) and thus rarer than the 1935 Gold Proof Crown of which 25 were issued, which when offered fetches in the region of £60,000 to £80,000. This coin missing from many advanced Crown collections, and would make a welcome addition to any high quality Collection of Silver Crowns
Estimate: 5000-7000 GBP
