Victoria Silver Gothic Crown 1837-1901AD 1847AD
39mm, 28.38g

The Victoria crowns with gothic style design were struck for two years only. 1847 and 1853, the latter issued only as a proof edition. Few circulated and it is likely that the intention was to monitor the public’s reaction to the design for use with the florin.

An attractive example showing the engraver’s skill.
