Victoria 5 Cents 1889 MS65 PCGS, London mint, KM2. A rarer date from the 5 Cents series, a firm gem with abundant mint bloom and appealing iridescent patina. Smoky tone floods the obverse field darkening the original bright argent to a deeper steel gray, the reverse exhibiting stronger reds and hints of cobalt at the very edge. Attractive, and scarce so well preserved.
