Great Britain "In The House" 1926 Florin Pattern, Unique?

Here is a picture of a very rare and even possibly unique pattern Great Britain of 1926. The Engraver was George Kruger-Gray but is not the accepted form adopted for the 1927-1936 issue. Not that it matters but this coin also shows the evidence of leftover planchet prep marks on the "MODEL" Obverse that IMO ofter are factored in erroneously on such coins (along with the matte finish) and detract from the final grade; that actually is not really important.

Well, just Love coins, period.

    I like it. What I find interesting is that patterns often have more artistic merit than the design utilized

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Yes, I do as well and like the design filling the coin with nicely done images on that reverse. Reminds me just a bit of the Coronation 1953 Crown patterns with the "full" reverse designs...
