Victoria silver Proof Pattern 1/2 Sovereign / Sixpence Mule 1880 PR64 PCGS, KM-PnA118, cf. W&R-354 (Silver). An outstanding pattern rarity of the Victorian series. The sole certified example and supposedly one of just two known, this specimen has been struck with an experimental reverse die featuring St. George and the dragon and a Sixpence obverse die. Such mule patterns are known in various metals, but all are exceptionally rare. Stunningly toned, dark in appearance but with deep iridescent streaks of red and blue flowing across the planchet; an absolutely sublime offering of the highest rarity.
