– SOLDThe 1936 Great Britain Silver Crown, known as the Lobel Issue, is a rare and highly sought-after coin. Designed by the renowned artist Percy Metcalfe and influenced by Richard Lobel’s concepts, this proof coin stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship and artistic detail. Struck in silver, it was part of a limited production, making it particularly desirable among collectors.
This issue is notable for being minted during the year of King Edward VIII’s brief reign, though due to his abdication, official British coins bearing his portrait were never released for circulation. As a result, the 1936 Crown is often associated with the transitional period leading up to King George VI’s accession.
The NGC PF 66 Ultra Cameo designation indicates an outstanding proof strike with deeply mirrored fields and highly frosted devices, creating a striking contrast. Coins of this quality are rare, as Ultra Cameo designations are awarded only to proofs with exceptional visual appeal. The combination of historical significance, artistic merit, and superb preservation makes this coin a prized addition to any numismatic collection.
