Great Britain
William IV gold Proof 1/2 Sovereign 1831 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM716, S-3830, W&R-267 (R3). Plain edge. Worthy of recognition for its impressive conditional preservation alone, this enchanting Proof offering furthers its technical appeal in the form of a rich cameo contrast that carries with the fullest intensity to both obverse and reverse surfaces. William's portrait is richly decorated in mint frost that remains virtually undisturbed, yielding an impressive visual display. The reverse, struck with similar sharpness and standing in stark visual contrast to the reflective fields, provides an equally delightful image, rendering this offering as one that deserves only the closest consideration by collectors of high-quality British Proofs.
