George IV Proof 1/2 Crown 1825 PR63 NGC, KM695, S-3809, ESC-644 (R2). Plain edge. A very rare forerunner of the 1826 Proof set, debuting Wyon's bare head portrait of George IV. Quite aside from its rarity this piece is irrefutably captivating; surfaces smoldering with a smokey tone over residual glossy reflectivity, its strike firm and central indicative of considerable pride of production, the overall effect of extreme quality carefully-handled over the near two centuries since it was made. Rarely offered for sale in any grade let alone this choice piece, sure to appeal to any collector of high-quality British Proofs.
