Great Britain
Victoria Proof Crown 1887 PR63 Cameo NGC, KM765, S-3921. Mintage: 1084. An always enticing emission from Victoria's Golden Jubilee Proof set, toned to a somewhat singular palate with fantastically sculpturesque execution to the heroic scene of St. George slaying the dragon. While the fields at first sight appear a bit muted, and do show evidence of handling, a quick turn of the wrist sets alight flashy Proof surfaces, old world toning pooling towards the rims, where they ignite to an ethereal turquoise on the reverse.
