George VI gold Proof 5 Pounds 1937 PR66 Cameo NGC, Royal mint, KM861, S-4074. Mintage: 5,500. Impressive frost handsomely defines the King's bust while the surrounding mirrors yield an endless amount flash. Produced in limited quantity, this Proof-only issue combines exacting detail across the features and contains one of the most iconic reverse illustrations ever designed. A touch of haze in the obverse only seems to add to the originality of this exalted Gem. Very much a conditional jewel, and when encountered at this level, a type that warrants a substantial premium.
Estimate: 14000-18000 USD
