Great Britain
George V gold Proof 5 Pounds 1911 PR64+ Cameo NGC, KM822, S-3994, W&R-414. Mintage: 2,812. An effortlessly alluring representative of this single-year type displaying a quality of preservation that easily exceeds the image conjured by its grade alone. Even the most subtle tilt in light unleashes blooming radiance that caresses George's carefully crafted portrait, which contains admirable mint frost that contrasts delicately against the sea of mirror reflectivity surrounding the devices. While an isolated number of short wisps that could be counted by hand cap the assigned grade from full gem status, it is difficult to imagine an equal offering without breaking into significantly higher price territory.
