The 1847 Gothic Crown The 1847 Gothic Crown is one of the most beautiful coins ever minted. They are quite rare as only 8000 were minted.
The Gothic Portrait was designed by William Wyon. Queen Victoria is shown in a medieval style wearing an ornate crown and its tip cuts through the border of trefoil which arcs around the coins inner edge.
The inscription, which is placed below the arching trefoil, is in a medieval gothic style font in upper and lower case. Queen Victoria wears a dress embroidered with roses representing England, thistles representing Scotland and Shamrocks which represent Ireland.
It was the first time since the coins of Charles II that a monarch wore a crown on British coinage.Edge is inscribed with date as mdcccxlvii (1847).
There are several variants of this coin. It was also produced in gold.
