2022 St Helena Masterpiece Gothic Victoria Crown 1 oz Silver Proof Coin

2022 Masterpiece Gothic Victoria Crown 1oz Silver Proof Coin. STRICTLY LIMITED TO ONLY 2000 COINS WORLDWIDE. William Wyon produced some of the most iconic coin designs of the Victorian era. His 1838'Young Head' portrait was so well liked by Victoria that it graced the coins of her reign for nearly 50 years. His 1839 Una & the Lion used characters from Edmund Spencer's medieval poem.

In 1847, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Victoria becoming Queen, a silver crown was released with a new portrait by Wyon. In a shift from his Neoclassical roots, Wyon's obverse design was influenced by the fashionable Neo-Gothic movement, and with a similarly styled reverse design by Scottish artist William Dyce, it became known as the'Gothic Crown'.

The obverse of this Masterpiece Collection edition features the Commonwealth coinage portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by celebrated artist Jody Clark. Unveiled in 2015, it is only the fifth definitive portrait of The Queen to appear on British circulating coins since her accession to the throne in 1952. Coin Name: 2022 Masterpiece Gothic Victoria Crown 1oz Silver Proof. Obverse Design: Queen Elizabeth Effigy. Reverse Design: Gothic Victoria Portrait.
