George II gold Proof "Restoration" 20 Drachmai 1940 PR65 Cameo NGC, Heaton mint, KM74. Mintage: 200. An extremely rare commemorative issue that celebrates the 5th anniversary of the restoration of the monarchy. It has been reported that out of a planned mintage of 750 coins, only 200 pieces were struck, and even fewer have survived at the Gem level. Once in hand, full-bodied flash leaps from the fields, highlighting the satin texture across George II's portrait and confirming a cameo finish. For the collectors of this singular type, a finer representative is hard to imagine.
