cf. KMPS10, cf. S-PS5. An appealing near-complete Proof set, missing only the 5 Pound piece. 1887 marked Victoria's 50 years on the throne, heralding the introduction of a new portrait to succeed her younger 'bun head' series known as her Jubilee coinage, an intricate design presented superbly on this popular set. The silver pieces in this group exhibit a subtle iridescent toning, a subtlety which disappears in places to be replaced by vibrant spears of color, whilst the three gold pieces bear uniform 'Ultra Cameo' designations. Not one coin presented here is below the choice grade level, and each exhibit a sharp strike and clearly high quality level of production. These pieces individually have experienced a marked rise in popularity in recent years, and the opportunity to own them is sure to elicit spirited bidding.
