George IV gold Proof Sovereign 1826 PR63 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM696, S-3801, W&R-237 (R2). By William Wyon after Chantrey, revese by Jean-Baptiste Merlen. Wholly choice, with an intense and razor-sharp cameo effect that draws the eye from every angle of inspection. A heavy coating of mint frost resides over the raised features, these precisely rendered down to even the most intricate locks of hair on George's head. A single mark is noted under the King's eye for accuracy, though this offering presents admirably, not just for the type, but even for the choice grade assigned.
