Description
Desirable Uniface Pattern Proof 1825 Crown
George IV Obverse Uniface Pattern Proof "Barton's Metal" Crown
1825 PR63 PCGS, cf. KM699 (Obverse, only 1826 Listed), cf.
S-3806 (Obverse), ESC-2333 (R6). A rare issue with exceptional
collectability, struck in Barton's Metal (gold-electrolyzed
copper), arguably named after John Barton who was the Deputy
Comptroller of the Mint at the time. This Crown is but one from a
six-piece Trial set, each struck for the first time with the new
Chantry re-styling of George IV. At present, there are only two
graded by PCGS, this desirable representative is the highest of the
pair with a PR63. An overall impeccable opportunity to acquire a
scarcer Trial piece that not only stuns in appearance but also
demonstrates the artistic talents of W. Wyon and J. B. Merlen.
