Victoria gold Proof 2 Pounds 1893 PR63+ Ultra Cameo NGC, KM786, S-3873. A thoroughly pleasing piece, this 1893 2 Pounds exhibits everything a collector could look for in a Proof; Victoria's portrait coated with a luxurious layer of frost all-the-more highlighted by the watery fields behind, the whole ensemble bearing only light contact marks. To the cataloguer, the 1893 gold Proofs seem a far richer, deeper gold in color than, say, the 1911 or 1937 types, and this present example is no exception. Look no further for quality or eye appeal, as this Proof has both in droves.
