Description
Superb Coronation Proof Crown
Victoria Proof Crown 1839 PR62 NGC, KM741, S-3882, ESC-2560
(R). Plain edge. A pleasing stone-gray Proof from Victoria's famous
and "delayed" 1839 Proof set, issued two years following the
Queen's coronation. While perhaps most famous for William Wyon's
Una and the Lion 5 Pounds, this exemplary crown from that set is by
no means to be passed over without remark--a subtle reflectivity
over the surfaces reveals whirls of underlying gold and sky blue
tones when rotated in hand. The high-quality execution of the piece
lends a sculpted and heavily medallic feel to the portrait so often
impossible to appreciate on the often banged-up circulation
strikings for the later dates of this type.Ex. Heritage Auction 3088 (November 2020, Lot 33179)
