Farouk gold "Royal Wedding" Proof 500 Piastres AH 1357 (1938) PR66 Cameo NGC, London mint, KM373. Commemorating the royal wedding of King Farouk to Queen Farida, this massive offering features endlessly reflective mirrors and obvious cameo-producing frost atop the raised designs. The rose-hued surfaces are absent any distracting marks that deter from the central images, and a quick turn of the wrist ignites a shower of flash that cascades across both sides. A highly coveted 20th century gold type that has managed sustained collector interest for quite some time, particularly at this premier level of certification.
