Victoria Proof 1/2 Crown 1839 PR64 PCGS, KM740, S-3885, Plain edge. A truly exquisite near-gem example from the most popular of Victoria's four Proof sets, commissioned for her coronation. This piece captivates the viewer with its magnificent toning, the obverse beginning from the outer ring as a vibrant cyan, quickly darkening to an iridescent cerulean and terminating in the center as a smokey golden brown; the reverse is an aurous-red in appearance with considerable underlying reflectivity. Impressive in every regard, a sublime combination of superb production coupled with a praiseworthy patina.
