Republic gold Proof "Cock of the Rocks" 1000 Bolivares 1975 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC, London mint, KM-Y48.2. Smooth Wings variety. Choice for the grade, with no visible frost breaks on the raised design and stunning mirror-like reflectivity in the fields. The smooth wings design type is extremely rare in this Proof format, with only two examples known to date, and this piece being the only one graded. Given its rarity, this type can perhaps be considered a pattern that was rejected for the detailed-feather motif.
Estimate: 10000-12000 USD
