Edward VII gold Specimen Pattern Crown 1902 SP62 PCGS, KM-Unl., ESC-3564 (R6), L&S-5, W&R-413. 81.00gm. Plain edge. By Spink & Son. An astounding and nearly unattainable Pattern striking, where those in silver come to market rather infrequently, garnering significant sums, while those in gold are witnessed maybe once every decade. Clearly imitating the iconic Crowns of Charles I, featuring a proud and highly detailed monarch on horseback, with a reverse oval shield and arms, here finely rendered and a stark juxtaposition against its prototype. Radiance abounds the expanses while the sheer size of the piece lends well to its engraved features, relaying just how monumental the piece truly is when viewed in-hand. Gentle flashes of terracotta pepper the legends, adding to the already advanced aesthetic caliber that will surely lead this piece to a discerning cabinet. Ex. Eliasberg Collection (American Numismatic Rarities, April 2005, Lot 516); John H. Clapp Collection HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
