Description
Stunning Gothic Crown in Superb Gem
Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR67 NGC, KM744, S-3883,
ESC-2571. UN DECIMO edge. The celebrated William Wyon masterpiece
design for Queen Victoria that has been a practical requirement for
top shelf collections of British material for many decades, but the
demand for the issue still seems to keep growing. Elite examples
such as this are as popular as they have ever been, and why not,
the beauty of immaculate pieces such as this is simply stunning,
possibly unparalleled in numismatics. Everything about this coin is
razor sharp, from the rims to the dentils to the pinpoint precision
of the designs. As is often the case of properly preserved classic
Proof coinage from this era, the veil of tone is quite dark, but
there is immense brilliance and color in this natural cloak. The
mottled iridescence of the obverse reveals tones such as blueberry,
violet, and lilac that interplay with each other seamlessly, while
the reverse yields chartreuse and seafoam color palettes. No matter
the particular color that catches your eye at any given moment, the
overall aesthetic is one of supreme, glass-like resplendence that
one would hope to find on a Superb Gem such as this. A
praise-worthy specimen, fitting for a collection as special as the
Eternal Collection.Ex. Exeter College Collection (Heritage Auction 3008, Lot 21946)
