Great Britain
Victoria Proof Pattern Shilling ND (1865) PR64 Cameo PCGS, ESC-3121. Plain edge. A highly scarce undated pattern for Victoria's Shilling, struck in a period of heavy mint experimentation. Victoria's unique portrait has been very effectively frosted giving a perfectly matte gunmetal color with aurous highlights; the field behind is a dazzling mirror with magenta-gold tone, a similar contrast present on the reverse behind the incuse Order of the Garter shield. Delightful, a near-gem example of this seldom offered pattern.
