from
£500.00
Graded PF 69, this addition to the popular Great Engravers series recreates the stunning 1847 Gothic Crown. The Royal Mint has been offering remastered editions of classic designs associated with great engraver William Wyon since 2019 when the remarkable Una and the Lion was released in a range of gold and silver coins. Following on from 2020’s Three Graces, this new edition allows modern collectors to own an awe inspiring gothic revival design, created by Wyon towards the end of his life. This coin features the intricate reverse of the 1847 coin, entered on quartered shields of royal arms with national flower emblems and gothic lettering around. Its paired with Jody Clark’s portrait of Her Majesty the Queen to the obverse. The portrait of Queen Victoria that featured on the obverse of the original coin would be restrict for a separate, highly-anticipated 2022 coin. This example is struck in 62.42 grams of .999 fine silver to finest proof standard. It has a face value of £5 and a diameter of 40.00 millimetres. We are offering a small number of examples, graded PF 69 Deep Cameo by NGC, guaranteeing you a high grade Quartered Arms Gothic Crown, one of only 4,006 issued.

NGC PF 69 Deep Cameo 2021 Quartered Arms Gothic Crown from the Great Engravers series.
The Great Engravers Series
Billed as a celebration of historic coinage design, The Royal Mint's Great Engravers range has proved hugely popular.
The series kicked off with Una and the Lion: recreating an engraving by Royal Mint Chief Engraver, William Wyon, first used in 1839 celebrate Queen Victoria's coronation. The limited edition 2019 reissue offered buyers a chance to own a sought-after design in a range of metals and denominations, including the largest gold coin the Mint had ever offered to that point.
An earlier design by Wyon - his Three Graces - was the subject of the second instalment in the Great Engravers series. Originally crafted for an 1817 pattern coin, the success of the remastered 2020 Three Graces inspired similar offers from the East India Company and the Commonwealth Mint as well as much speculation about the next release.
The 1847 Gothic Crown
We were excited to learn that The Royal Mint would be focusing on the Gothic Crown for their third Great Engravers collection.
This Victorian coin got its name from its intricate, medieval-style details. Working from a design by Scottish artist, William Dyce, William Wyon engraved an ornate crowned portrait and a quartered arms motif utilising a very different art style to his earlier masterpieces. Only a small number were issued, mostly to collectors, though the design was later used on other coins, including the infamous Godless Florin.
As well as its Gothic Revival style, the Gothic Crown is different from previous designs offered in the Great Engravers series in that both sides of the original coin are admired by numismatists. To create legal tender coins, The Royal Mint has chosen to strike the 1847 coin's obverse and reverse separately, both paired with Jody Clark's portrait of Elizabeth II.
High Grade Silver Coin
The original Gothic Crown measured 38.00 millimetres across and this example, struck to proof standard, is just a little larger with a 40.00 millimetre surface. This silver coin is from a limited mintage of 4,006. It's made from 62.42 grams of .999 fine silver.
We are offering a small number of examples that have been professionally graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company as PF 69 Ultra Cameo, indicating a great strike and nearly imperceptible imperfections. The 'Ultra Cameo' designation denotes deeply mirrored surfaces that contrast attractively with frosted devices.
This coin is also available 'raw' with its box of issue and a numbered certificate of authenticity.

A Millennia of Minting
Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.
The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.
In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by Her Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.
Collecting and Investing
The Royal Mint's commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.
Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.
The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.

Service was fast and efficient. The coins are well made and good value for money. I just needed one more coin to finish the collection and I found it for sale at this company. The coins are well packaged to protect it from damage and it came in the post really quickly. The items are good quality. The coin came in it’s own pouch and it was as described on the website.
