Crafted by the skilled hand of William Wyon, the obverse portrait of Queen Victoria is a masterpiece, adorned with blackletter script and showcasing medieval-style attire and crown. The reverse, attributed to William Dyce, displays crowned cruciform shields of arms embellished with national flower emblems in the angles.
What sets the Gothic Crown apart is not just its breathtaking aesthetics but also its rarity. Only approximately 8,000 of these exquisite coins were ever struck, sparking immediate interest among collectors. The variations in silver and gold, coupled with the raised gothic lettering and the regnal year 'unidecimo,' contribute to the coin's mystique. Yet, within this rarity, there are even rarer specimens with plain and 'septimo' edge 1847 Crowns.
