South Africa
Republic Proof Pattern Penny 1890-V PR65 Red and Brown NGC, Vienna mint, KMX-Pn9. Only 100 pieces of this exquisite proof type were struck supposedly as salesman's samples, rendering this a significant rarity of the South African numismatic series. Intensely colored a vivid red, fading to an ethereal blue at the highest points of the sharp devices, no wear anywhere on this Gem's surface and only the very lightest evidence of contact. A pinnacle of both rarity and eye-appeal.
