George IV Proof 1/2 Crown 1826 PR63 PCGS, KM695, S-3809. From the ever-popular 1826 Proof set, this charming specimen at first appears to have a uniform gunmetal tone; closer inspection, however, rewards the viewer with flashes of deep reflectivity tinged with iridescent golds and platinum-blues. George's portrait is sleek and unsullied by the ravages of time, every aspect of Wyon's engraving gleaming and pristine. A bewitching Halfcrown, difficult to match for its technical quality or visual appeal.
