Falkland Islands
British Colony. Elizabeth II gold Proof "Fur Seal" 150 Pounds 1979 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM13. Conservation series, featuring a Falklands Fur Seal. One of the hardest Conservation series types to obtain, only one proof example and one business strike offered in the last 15 years - the proof issue was graded PR68 Ultra Cameo, included in our September 2012 Long Beach sale where it realized $6,500 hammer; we thoroughly anticipate this even loftier PR69 Ultra Cameo example to attract similar strength of bidding. Simply a delight to behold, deep yellow color to the planchet and fields of endless mirror depth, the devices thickly frosted above. An outstanding Conservation proof. AGW 0.9675 oz.
