Farouk gold Proof "Royal Wedding" 500 Piastres AH 1357 (1938) PR66 Cameo NGC, London mint, KM373. Of extraordinary quality for this celebrated wedding issue, featuring the uniformed portrait of Farouk centered on the obverse and a reverse that is beautifully styled with calligraphic text. The immaculate surfaces can barely contain the golden-caramel flash that beams from the expanses, drawing a dramatic contrast against the thickly frosted, crisply rendered designs. The presence of faint wisps are noted for the sake of accuracy, but are of little impact to the overall elite quality of this Gem. A terrific candidate for the type, as well as center placement in its next cabinet.
