Sierra Leone
British Colony copper Proof 10 Cents 1791 PR64 Brown NGC, FT5b, KM3a. Visually superb, with evenly-coated chestnut brown surfaces and underlying reflectivity that shimmers upon rotation. This scarcely offered denomination features the emblematic prowling lion on the obverse with symbolic imagery of clasped hands on the reverse. Seemingly choice for the designation, and perhaps worthy of the Gem classification, this small yet impressive minor absolutely delights.
