Edge reads: DECUS ANNO REGNI ET TUTAMEN XXV, ESC 380, Bull 3657, UNC and attractively toned with minor contact marks only, toned and retaining much original underlying lustre, an extremely rare error and rated R5 by ESC (Estimated 5-10 examples believed to exist), thus rarer than the gold Proof of this date (25 examples issued) which, when on the rare occasions it is offered, fetches £60,000 - £80,000. Our archive database shows that this is the only the second example we have offered in 15 years, the previous being in Auction A165 (1/6/2019 Lot 2542) which realised £3400 hammer price
Estimate: 2600-3200 GBP
