George VI gold Proof 5 Pounds 1937 PR64+ NGC, KM861, S-4074. An extremely strong specimen of this popular Proof issue, bearing fewer hairlines than one usually sees and superb reflectivity. The assignation of 'cameo' designations for this type seem rather arbitrary, the present offering serving as an example; its frosted portrait of George directly contrasts with the mirror fields behind to create a pleasing visual effect. Struck to an impeccable standard as is usual for the type, yet with a highly unusual level of preservation. One of the finer pieces on the market.
