William Wyon is recognized by many today as one of history’s preeminent coin designers. Working in in the mid 19th century at the Royal Mint, Wyon produced many designs that have stood the test of time. Among them is the Gothic Crown coin of 1847 that he designed in collaboration with Scottish artist William Dyce. To celebrate the coin, The East India Company has created a beautifully remastered version featuring its famous reverse design.

The Industrial Revolution, for all its advances, did not sit well for many. It meant things like noise, air pollution, and bad working environments. As such, a nostalgia for a quiet Medieval lifestyle emerged, causing neo-gothic architecture to spring up all throughout Britain. This movement formed the basis for the reverse design of the original Gothic Crown coin of 1847. Today, numismatists recognize it as one of the most beautiful coin designs ever conceived.

The obverse side of 2022 Proof St. Helena Silver Gothic Crown Coin depicts Queen Elizabeth II in right-profile relief. This effigy was designed in 2015 by Jody Clark and represents the first time an employee of the Royal Mint has been credited with a Royal portrait for British coinage. Along the edges you’ll find inscriptions reading Elizabeth II, D G Regina F D, St. Helena, Two Pounds.

On the reverse of the 2022 2 oz Proof St. Helena Gothic Crown Coin is a replication of William Dyce’s famous cruciform design. In its center is the Order of the Garter arms, which is surrounded by a shield design in the form of a cross. The official flowers of the four nations of the United Kingdom are seen in the background. Blackletter Latinate lettering is inscribed across the border.
