The reverse of the 2021 Gothic Crown One Kilogram Silver Proof Coin features the quartered arms, previously seen on the Victoria gothic crown.
Designed by William Wyon. this 2021 gothic crown coin is the third release in the Great Engravers Series. Previous coins in the series sold out within minutes of their release at the Royal Mint.
There will be two Great Engravers Gothic Crown coins issued. The second coin will feature the gothic portrait of Queen Victoria, also by William Wyon.
This coin is struck to a proof finish from 999 fine silver. It weighs 1,005g and contains 32.151 troy ounces of silver.
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 on the obverse, with the quartered shields on the reverse.
The Royal Mint have confirmed they will issue both designs, making this almost minuture 2-coin issue within the great engravers.
We first heard about the coin after the Privy Council published information about it. The Privy Council is made up of senior politicians who advise the Queen on such matters as bank holidays, coinage and company statuses. The Royal Mint have to submit any new coin designs to The Privy Council for approval and that information is then announced on the Privy Council website.
The obverse of the coin features Jody Clark's portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.

The reverse of the coin features William Wyon's quartered shield design. The crowned cruciform shields bear three lions passant for England, a rampant lion for Scotland, and a harp for Ireland. The angles feature the floral emblems; roses, a shamrock and a thistle. In the centre appears the Order of the Garter, bearing the inscription "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE".
