George VI gold Proof 5 Pounds 1937 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM861, S-4074. The last 5 Pound piece produced pre-Elizabeth II, and always popular for its brilliance and high quality of production. This present offering has beaten the odds in two regards; one, for its superb level of preservation, fewer than 10% of all graded specimens having achieved a gem level grade; and two, for its 'ultra cameo' designation, which is scarcely encountered for this often unfrosted type. These factors cumulate to produce supreme eye appeal. Bright, reflective and with sharply defined devices, the legends floating on the watery fields and framing George's matte portrait, the reverse scene similarly frosted (not always the case, even with ultra cameo coins). Exceptional in every regard, a piece not to be missed by the selective 5 Pound collector.
