| Additional information |
The Gothic Crown portrait used here is a direct reinterpretation of William Wyon's celebrated 1847 design, originally created for a currency crown that was effectively a prestige piece even at issue — produced in numbers too small and at a weight too precious for genuine circulation. The 2021 revival was part of a broader Royal Mint program revisiting Victorian-era coin art, capitalizing on renewed collector interest in Wyon's neo-Gothic aesthetic following the success of earlier restrikes in the series.
At just over two troy ounces of .9999 fine gold, this is among the heavier standard-format proof issues in the modern British numismatic calendar.
