One of the exciting things about coin collecting is that most coins have a story. These stories often involve historical figures, eras, or movements. The coins serve as a reminder of what came before us and make us appreciate history in a new light. A perfect example of this is the 1847 Gothic Crown coin, which sheds light on both the history of the British Monarchy as well as the artistic movements of the time.

History

Gothic architecture became commonplace around the year 1140. However, during the Renaissance period, this style was replaced by a more classical Greek design. But in 1749, English writer Horace Walpole built Strawberry Hill, a mansion full of Gothic embellishments. This is commonly seen as the beginning of the Gothic Revival, which would go on to inspire numerous works of art throughout the next century, including the Gothic Crown coin.
