British India. William IV gold Proof Restrike 2 Mohurs 1835.-(c) PR66★ NGC, Calcutta mint, KM452.1, Fr-1592b, Prid-3, S&W-1.4. Reeded edge. In a word, astonishing. Simply a level of visual quality and overall presentation that is almost never seen for this already very rare Proof restrike, as is verified by just a single PR67 in the NGC census with none certified by PCGS, and neither the handful of examples awarded a cameo or ultra cameo designation from that same service have come close. Upon first glance the viewer is immediately confronted by heavy die polish in the fields and a general absence of stray marks, a feature confirmed under close magnification. While virtually no representatives in such esteemed quality have become available on the coin auction market, we would draw the bidder's attention to a PR64 Ultra Cameo piece which hammered for $83,000 in January 2018, and the steady rise in interest in British Indian coinage in the last year and a half certainly suggests that the present specimen, standing near the peak of achievable quality, will not go overlooked.
