Victoria, proof 'Gothic' crown, 1847, young bust l., rev. crowned cruciform shields (S.3883), certified and graded by NGC as Proof 62 Cameo
A most attractive piece, it seems quite undergraded. We have handled examples graded Proof 64 which were very similar to this piece.
With attractive cameo fields.
A coin benefiting from recent rising popularity. Created by the engraver William Wyon at the very height of his career, the portrait design is a stunning rendition of the young queen, while the reverse is highly intricate. Collected by numismatists from the time of its issue to the modern day, a historical beauty.

Estimate: 20000 - 25000 GBP
