Willem I Proof 2-1/2 Gulden 1840 PR63 Cameo NGC, Utrecht mint, KM67, Dav-234, Schulman-257 (not listed in Proof). Mintage: 44,376 (Proof mintage not recorded). A visually compelling type representative fielding rich gunmetal tone over sleek surfaces emitting underlying mint "flash" when tilted under light, Willem's features outlined in faint charcoal that only further emboldens the sharpness of the strike. Soft blue coloration decorates the legends to provide a finishing touch of aesthetic perfection that renders this charming example as one clearly destined for a high-end collection of Dutch or European Proofs.
