British India. Victoria gold "Young Bust" Proof Restrike 5 Rupees 1870-CM PR64★ Cameo NGC, Calcutta mint, KM474, S&W-4.23. Full of unstoppable flash, with citrus-gold gloss over both sides that takes on reflective properties in the fields and frosted texture across the raised designs. Given the coveted star designation by NGC for superior eye appeal, and essentially Gem if not for a bit of chatter in the left obverse field. Featuring the more youthful portrait of Victoria, this small and highly detailed piece was re-struck by the Indian mint during the 1960s.
