Great Britain
George IV gold Proof 2 Pounds 1826 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM701, S-3799. An appealing Proof 2 Pounds, included in George IV's 1826 Proof set (produced to herald William Wyon's new, flattering bare head portrait of the king). This piece exhibits the ever-popular contrast between the reflective fields and the more matte devices, some hairlines noted either side of George's portrait but nothing significant enough to hold this piece back from its impressive near-gem grade. An ever-popular type, of which few quality pieces have appeared at auction in recent months.
