In 1847, William Wyon was petitioned by Queen Victoria to design a coin in honor of her 10th anniversary upon the throne. Given the high stakes of the situation, Wyon turned to artist William Dyce for help. Together, they created the legendary Gothic Crown coin. To commemorate this outstanding achievement, East India Company developed a stunning tribute coin as part of their Masterpiece Collection.

Queen Elizabeth II is featured on the obverse of 2022 Silver St. Helena Gothic Crown Coins. She is seen in right-profile relief with the Royal Diamond Diadem crown that she originally wore on her coronation day. Along the rim are the words Elizabeth II, D G Regina F D, St. Helena, One Pound.
The original Gothic Crown design is displayed on the reverse of the 2022 Proof Silver St. Helena Gothic Crown Coin. This decorative image features a cruciform consisting of four shields that bear the logos seen on the Royal coat of arms. At the center of the design is the Order of the Garter arms, and in the background, we see a rose, shamrock, daffodil, and thistle. These are the symbolic flowers of England, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland, respectively.
The Masterpiece Collection from The East India Company and St. Helena began in June 2021. The common theme of the series is that each new release pays tribute to history’s most revered coin designs. The Gothic Crown represents the third coin in this exciting series. Prior to its release, coins featuring the renowned Three Graces and Una and the Lion designs were issued by the mint.
