Description

Elizabeth II silver Specimen Crown 1966 SP64 NGC, ESC-4347 (R2). An intriguing unofficial Pattern by R. G. Hunt and A. M. Foley for the British Treasury, seeking to be applied to both a silver 5 Pounds and gold 25 Pounds issue. Rarely do examples appear at auction, this being only the second example we've offered. The design here clearly distinguishes itself from contemporary British numismatic styles, blending the linear Art Deco touch of Percy Metcalfe with neoclassical attention to sinuosity and hypernatural contour. Deep mottled tone in plum and cerulean permeate the well-struck and well-kept surfaces. Certainly attractive and especially at this level of preservation.

Metal: Silver
Diameter: 38mm
