Description
Brilliant Uniface Pattern Proof Crown in Barton's Metal
George IV Reverse Uniface Pattern Proof "Barton's Metal" Crown
ND (1825) PR64 PCGS, cf. KM-Pn90 (standard Pattern Crown for
1825), ESC-2334 (R6). By W. Wyon and J. B. Merlen. Part of a series
of Patterns for George IV's first gold coinage, struck as Uniface
trial pieces in gold-electrolyzed copper, a metal type nicknamed
"Barton's Metal" for the Deputy Comptroller of the Royal Mint John
Barton. Heritage was fortunate enough to sell an entire set of
these "Barton's Metal" Patterns in May of this year, which is
incredibly impressive in its completeness, but the example of the
type offered again here was notably inferior to the the present
selection. This near-Gem specimen is bold, bright, and brilliant,
reminiscent of an actual gold Pattern piece, which is a credit to
the designers.
