Great Britain Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Proof Crown 1887. S# 3921. A truly magnificent piece of art. A coin that displays with tremendous passion the exceptional work and craftmanship of Benedetto Pistrucci. Left untouched since striking has toned to variable degrees of the entire color spectrum with violet and green and purple coming out strong and enhancing the work that was accomplished more than a century ago and still unsurpassed in beauty. If FDC can safely describe a coin of this age this is it. The most beautiful coin in this collection (and the Gothic Crown too).
