Two Pounds 1887 Pattern from Proof dies - a very rare trial piece struck from a unique Obv. die. The legend arrangement is similar to the standard proof dies, but the 'BRITT' is now at its highest known point above the crown and the 'R' and 'E' of 'Reg' do not touch as on all other 1887 Two Pounds. The crown supporter has 8 small pearls, not 7 larger ones as on other Proof and currency types, the uppermost pearls, merge with the sides of the crown orb. The coin has a thin obverse rim, with the bust now enlarged to accommodate this feature, whereas the reverse has the usual and inconsistent thick rim. The '8 pearls' obverse remains an unpublished pattern struck from Proof dies. Recent research by David Iverson has theorised that no more than 350 of these pieces were minted, compared to a total reported calendar year mintage of 91,345 pieces , AU/UNC with some hairlines and minor contact marks, retaining attractive and reflective fields on both sides.
