The second Great Engravers Gothic Crown features the gothic portrait of Queen Victoria.

Victoria Gothic Crown

The original Victoria Gothic Crown was issued in 1847 and 1853, solely as a proof edition. Designed by William Wyon, the obverse featured a crowned bust of Queen Victoria, with the quartered shields on the reverse.

The Royal Mint confirmed both designs as part of this 2-coin issue.

Privy Council

The coin was first known after the Privy Council published information about it. The Privy Council is made up of senior politicians who advise the monarch on matters such as bank holidays, coinage, and livery company statuses.

The Royal Mint has to submit any new coin designs to The Privy Council for approval, and that information is then announced by the Privy Council.

Obverse

The obverse of the coin features Jody Clark’s portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
