British Outpost. George III Proof Ackey 1818 PR64 NGC, Heaton mint, KM9, Dav-36. A revered issue with an exciting pedigree, absolutely desired in this choice Proof format, with gunmetal patina over the reflective mirrors and argent frost at the centers and peripheries. Despite the closeness of the holder, soaring rims manage to beautifully frame each side, drawing the eye inward to appreciate the superbly struck illustrations throughout. With only trivial marks to prevent the gem designation, most of which fade into the flash upon rotation. An altogether significant coin struck by the African Company of Merchants.
Ex. Millennia Collection. Illustrated in Money of the World, coin 132.
