Royal mint, Mintage: 125 sets. Great Engravers series. Struck to commemorate the crowning achievement in technical prowess and historicity of Thomas Simon and his iconic "Petition" Crown, one of the most sought-after issues across all of British numismatics. Both designs and edge engravings have been masterfully reproduced, each detail painstakingly re-engraved and full frosted, punctuated by a pleasingly refined rendering of Charles II and clear departure from previous, more crude portraiture. Pristine in every regard and certainly among the Royal Mint's most beautiful modern offerings. Very Rare
