Description
2026 Great Engravers William IV Crown £200 2oz Gold Proof Coin – NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
The 2026 Great Engravers William IV Crown £200 2oz Gold Proof Coin is one of the most exclusive proof coins ever released by The Royal Mint.
Inspired by Jean Baptiste Merlen’s celebrated reverse from the original 1831 William IV Crown, this exceptional release has been struck in 2 troy ounces of 999.9 fine gold and forms part of the prestigious Great Engravers Collection, a series dedicated to recreating some of Britain’s greatest coin designs.
What makes this particular example truly exceptional is its rarity.
With a maximum coin mintage of just 175 coins worldwide, it is one of The Royal Mint’s lowest-mintage gold proof issues. Even more remarkable, only 11 examples have achieved the coveted NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo grade at the time of writing, making this one of the finest certified examples currently available.
For collectors, rarity alone is not enough. Condition is equally important. Independently authenticated and graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo, this coin has achieved the highest grade awarded by NGC for a proof coin, confirming an exceptional level of quality and preservation.
Whether you are building a Great Engravers collection, adding a flagship Royal Mint proof issue or seeking one of the finest certified rarities available, this coin offers an exceptional combination of scarcity, craftsmanship and historical significance.
Why This Coin Stands Out
The coins most sought after by collectors combine three qualities: rarity, historic significance and exceptional condition. The 2026 Great Engravers William IV Crown delivers all three.
With a maximum coin mintage of just 175 coins and only 11 examples graded NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo at the time of writing, opportunities to acquire one of the very finest examples are exceptionally limited.
Rather than purchasing an uncertified coin and hoping it achieves the highest grade, you are acquiring a coin that has already been independently authenticated as one of the finest known examples.
As part of The Royal Mint’s Great Engravers Collection, this release faithfully recreates Jean Baptiste Merlen’s celebrated 1831 William IV Crown using modern minting technology, bringing one of Britain’s most admired historic coin designs to life in flawless contemporary proof quality.
Why NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Matters
Professional grading provides confidence, transparency and peace of mind.
Every coin certified by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) is independently authenticated, carefully examined and permanently sealed within a secure, tamper-evident holder.
A grade of PF70 Ultra Cameo represents the highest grade awarded by NGC to a proof coin. It confirms a flawless example with no post-production imperfections visible under 5× magnification, together with exceptional contrast between deeply mirrored fields and richly frosted design elements.
For many collectors, purchasing a coin that has already achieved PF70 Ultra Cameo removes the uncertainty of grading and provides confidence that they are acquiring one of the finest certified examples available.
The Story Behind the Coin
Originally issued in 1831 during the reign of King William IV, the William IV Crown is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful coins of the nineteenth century.
Its magnificent reverse, designed by Jean Baptiste Merlen, features the Royal Coat of Arms surrounded by the Collar of the Order of the Garter and enclosed within an elaborate royal mantle. Rich in detail and symbolism, it remains one of the most accomplished heraldic designs ever to appear on a British coin.
As part of the Great Engravers Collection, The Royal Mint has faithfully revived this historic masterpiece using modern minting techniques while preserving the artistry that made the original Crown so admired by collectors.
For today’s collector, this coin represents the perfect blend of historic design, exceptional craftsmanship and outstanding rarity. Combined with its NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo certification, it stands among the finest certified examples currently available.
The Design
The reverse faithfully reproduces Jean Baptiste Merlen’s original heraldic composition with remarkable precision. At its centre sits the Royal Coat of Arms, surrounded by the Collar of the Order of the Garter and framed within an ornate royal mantle, creating one of the most intricate and visually striking designs ever to appear on a British coin.
The obverse features the official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings, bringing together a celebrated nineteenth-century design with contemporary British coinage.
Struck to The Royal Mint’s highest proof standard using specially prepared dies and polished blanks, every detail has been brought to life with exceptional sharpness. The deeply mirrored fields and beautifully frosted design elements showcase every detail of Jean Baptiste Merlen’s celebrated design with exceptional clarity, perfectly complementing this coin’s NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo certification.
