Must be the one Golder copied for his modern fantasy crown pattern:

3 are in the Royal Mints collection. The others I have no idea. It is a rarity 6 according to the "English Pattern Trial and Proof Coins in Gold" book that arrived today. So many more great items in this book.

Save yourself from going bankrupt, and burn that Book right now.

How rare is R-6 on their scale? (My copy of the book is packed away.)

R6 = 3 to 5 specimens known

Andy's being coy. I'll bet he has the other two.....both PF68!!

R6 = 3 to 5 specimens known

Not like with US coins, where R6 = 13-30 coins.

Based on the R6 rating alone, and with three at the BRM, there might not even be any in private hands.
