GREAT BRITAIN. VICTORIA, 1837-1901.
Pattern Sovereign 1837, London. Small young head. By William Wyon, reverse by Jean-Baptiste Merlen. Plain edge. 7.79 g. WR 295. Von grösster Seltenheit / Of the highest rarity. Prachtexemplar / Cabinet piece. NGC PF64 ULTRA CAMEO.
(~€ 26'040/USD 26'040)
This pattern is of great historical importance among the issues of Victoria, not only as the first pattern for her Sovereigns but also as one of the finest executions of William Wyon's image of her as a young lady (Princess Victoria was 18 years old when this pattern was created, and not yet coronated).
Finest certified by NGC.
