Victoria gold Proof 5 Pounds 1893 PR65 Cameo NGC, KM787, S-3872, W&R-287. An exquisite gem Proof representative of Victoria's "Veiled Head" 5 Pounds, the highest denomination in the 1893 Proof set, which introduced Thomas Brock's new regal portrait, also known as the "Widow Head" type. The design's recognition has endured throughout history, certainly gaining further recognition as the final adopted numismatic portrait of the Victorian era. Demonstrating flashy fields and immense charm, this bold specimen expresses a high degree of mirroring, contrasting against a fine coating of frost over the Queen's features and the iconic St. George & Dragon reverse motif. Scarce in this gem condition, and positively on the precipice of a full "Ultra Cameo" designation.
