Comment
A re-interpretation of William Wyon's original Gothic Crown obverse from 1847, the fourth in a series of coins in the Great Engravers series. The coin was issued in a variety of denominations in both gold and silver proof. Issue limit: 2Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it features a unique Gothic Crown Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which is a departure from the traditional effigy of the Queen that is commonly used on coins. The Gothic Crown Portrait was designed by artist John Bergdahl and features the Queen wearing a crown with Gothic-style arches and detailing, giving the coin a distinctive and regal look.
