Victoria Proof Double Florin 1887 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS, KM763. Arabic 1 in date. An extraordinary piece - when one looks at the NGC and PCGS censuses for this type, the significance of its 'Deep Cameo' attribution is plainly obvious. 82 standard Proof examples have been certified between the two grading services; a further 48 have received 'cameo' designations, and just 9 have been considered at the lofty Deep Cameo level including the present offering. Victoria's jubilee portrait is covered in rich silver frost, the fields toned to seafoam green with considerable reflectivity - even the fine outlines of the reverse shields exhibit a matte texture in contrast to the mirrors behind. Its quality near unparalleled, a piece both produced to an enviable standard and subsequently preserved.
