George IV gold Proof 5 Pounds 1826 PR62 NGC, KM702, S-3797, W&R-213 (R3). A majestic gold 5 Pounds featuring Wyon's masterful portrait of George IV, the designs struck to pinpoint accuracy over surfaces bearing light original tone amidst significant reflectivity in the fields. A light frost over the devices very nearly lends a cameo effect to the piece, this impression bolstered by a near-medallic relief to each feature, with George's curls and intentionally rendered features leaving a lasting impression. This boldness and quality of execution similarly extend to the reverse, where every minute ornamentation and element of detailing is precisely picked out even under the highest magnification. A standout example, and one with the further appeal of a recognized pedigree.
Ex. Cheshire Collection
