George VI gold Proof 5 Pounds 1937 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC, Royal mint, KM861, S-4074. Mintage: 5,500. An endlessly popular, Proof-only issue, with a heavy layer of frost that defines George VI's portrait, as well as the unforgettable depiction of St. George slaying the dragon. Full mirrors express an incomparable amount of flash that easily glosses over the yellow-gold surfaces, standing in stark contrast to the designs, and further confirming the ultra cameo status. Other than a trifling mark or two, this bold Gem absolutely commands the eye, and will easily be the centerpiece in its next collection. For reference, in our 2017 January NYINC sale, an NGC PR66 Cameo example of this issue hammered for $26,000, and we expect this offering to bring the same level of excitement among collectors.
