George VI Proof 1/2 Penny 1948-(p) PR64 Brown PCGS, Perth mint, KM41. An outstanding Proof representative, and the final year of issue, with incredible walnut-toned surfaces that are drenched in iridescent hues of magenta and electric blue. A coin that should receive an additional award for visual appeal, since a quick turn of the wrist enables all the colors of the planchet to ignite into a blazing, vibrant sheen, highlighting near-Gem design illustrations in its path, and illuminating reflective fields that are without any individual post-strike issues that need addressing. Sharp, squared-off rims beautifully enclose both sides, with full dentillation surrounding the obverse motifs, while the kangaroo soars off the reverse, appearing almost lifelike in its detail. Presently the finest-certified Proof example at PCGS, and with unforgettable allure from start to finish.
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
