1851 Washington Draped Bust/Melbourne Kangaroo Mule PR63 Brown NGC. Baker-3M, Vlack MEL-K, Whitman-10400. The reverse die matches Vlack's Reverse K (used to strike 1783 Washington Draped Bust tokens). It was acquired by medalist W.J. Taylor and paired with this Australian halfpenny obverse promoting Taylor as medalist to London's Great Exhibition of 1851. These mules were struck in proof format only as numismatic curiosities. Deep glossy brown surfaces reveal faint brass-gold accents. The motifs are expectedly razor-sharp. Eminently appealing.
Ex: B.A. Seaby Ltd. (8/1956); Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
