Great Britain
Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR61 NGC, KM744, S-3883, ESC-2571. UN DECIMO on edge. An enchanting example of a type that continues to solidify William Wyon's numismatic legacy. A calming patina of teal, seafoam, and jade pervades both field and device, creating an attractive continuity between the exacting precision of Wyon's design and the blank expanses in between. Gentle wisps preclude a higher designation, yet a pondlike quality still endures.
