George IV gold Proof Sovereign 1821 PR62 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM682, S-3800, W&R-231 (R3). Representing the highest denomination issued as part of the elusive 1821 coronation Proof set of George IV. Definitively struck across every facet of the central designs, with both George IV and the rearing St. George on horseback sculpted to the utmost precision and rising in towering clarity above the reflective fields below. The brilliance of the piece is without question, even a quick turn of the wrist unleashing a blinding display of flashy radiance turning to endless mirrorlike depth when inspected by more careful rotation. A full cameo contrast completes the appeal of this inviting offering, yielding a level of bold visual impact that is sometimes lacking in even the relatively few higher grade examples certified to date.
