Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR60 NGC, KM744, S-3883, ESC-2571. UN DECIMO edge. One of the most coveted issues in all of British numismatics, so much so that even modern commemorative issues of this type garner significant interest and sums when encountered at auction. The crisply rendered example at hand displays a choice cabinet tone across uniform gunmetal surfaces, perfectly framing Victoria's iconic portrait in the "Gothic" style, for which this series is named. A drastic change from classical portraiture and general aesthetics by noted engraver William Wyon, who meticulously rendered the young Queen and reverse arms with exacting precision. Despite grade limiting wisps encountered throughout, the piece at hand remains a thoroughly sought-after type and is worthy of advanced bidder enthusiasm.
