Victoria Proof "Gothic" Florin 1853 PR64 PCGS, KM746.1, S-3891. A sublime representative from Victoria's most enigmatic Proof set exhibiting the celebrated 'gothic' design introduced just two years earlier. Despite its not holding a 'cameo' designation, when one holds this coin at an angle, the gold-toned fields darken whilst Victoria's crowned portrait remains lighter and matte in contrast - a fully pleasing effect. The reverse is thoroughly reflective with an awe-inspiring white gold patina tinged with just a hint of copper. Scarcely offered with mintage figures not known but presumed extremely low, a rare opportunity to add such a beautiful piece to your collection.
