Victoria gold Proof Golden Jubilee Medal 1887 PR62 Ultra Cameo NGC, BHM-3219, Eimer-1733a. Stunning and rare from a mintage of just 944, a spectacular gold medal commemorating Victoria's 50 years on the British throne. The obverse exhibits Victoria's Jubilee portrait in far higher-relief than is seen on her coinage and picked out with a rich coverage of golden frost, whilst the reverse shows the Queen enthroned amid figures of arts, science, commerce and industry, shields below bearing the names of continents, the entire scene surrounded by an exquisite braided rope border. A bearer of the lofty 'Ultra Cameo' designation, this medal is of a remarkably high production quality indicative of a nation enamored with their Queen who watched over them as their Empire grew. Deep gold and sharply struck, an all-round stunner for the connoisseur of British Medals. Accompanied by its original red leather case of issue.
