Petition Crown Coins
Thomas Simon’s Petition Crown |
An Exclusive Two-Coin Set |
With only a handful struck, the Petition Crown is one of the rarest coins to feature as part of The Great Engravers Collection and its raised, two-line edge inscription also makes it the most unique in the collection.
Thomas Simon’s engraving capabilities cannot be understated and the Petition Crown, made as a creative appeal to Charles II more than 350 years ago, underpins his extraordinary talent.
Now The Royal Mint celebrates Simon’s most famous work with a two-coin set as part of The Great Engravers Collection, which is home to some of the most sought-after coins and designs struck exclusively by The Royal Mint.

Unrivalled Engraving Talent
The raised edge lettering of the Petition Crown is an achievement of unmatched engraving skill. What is even more impressive is the creation of the two-line edge inscription that was made before advancements in minting technology.
Even now, more than 350 years since Simon created his work of genius, remastering the edge lettering is a significant challenge, which serves as a testament to Simon’s extraordinary engraving talent.
Great Engravers Collection continues with a two-coin set celebrating Thomas Simon’s revered Petition Crown. Made more than 350 years ago, many consider this coin a numismatic marvel.
