Great Britain
Victoria gold Proof Sovereign 1839 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM736.1, S-3852. Plain edge. A stunning example featuring the young Queen Victoria in the earliest days of her decades-long reign, only one year after her coronation in June of 1838. Her features remain graced in heavy golden frost that uniformly dresses the obverse bust design, a testament to the great care of preservation taken since the piece's production over 180 years ago, and one which yields a stark cameo contrast against the endlessly mirrored fields that envelope the central design motifs. Notable as the second finest example of the issue certified in a full "Ultra Cameo" designation by NGC, and a clear conditional rarity at this level.
