1847 Victoria Young Head Crown – XI Edge – Silver Crown
A substantial early‑Victorian milled silver crown struck in sterling (.925), carrying William Wyon’s refined Young Head portrait — a cornerstone design of mid‑19th‑century British coinage.
The reverse features the classic crowned quartered shield within an ornate wreath, a robust and unmistakably Victorian motif. The XI edge (Roman numeral eleven) is one of several numbered edge varieties used for this date and is collected as a distinct subtype within the series, adding further interest for specialists.
This pre‑Gothic issue offers strong historical appeal, significant presence in hand, and an increasingly appreciated position within the Victorian crown sequence.
