George IV gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1826 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM700, S-3804, W&R-249 (R2). By William Wyon after Chantrey, reverse by Jean-Baptiste Merlen. A supreme gem representative that provides its viewers with utterly few grounds for complaint, the richness of satin frost over the raised features maintaining full contrast against the surrounding fields from all angles, hard mirror-like reflectivity existing plain as day even from an arm's length. Achieving a status far above the majority of its competitors, this glorious example is currently the second-finest that exists in the certified population.
