† AFRICA. East AFRICA. East African Protectorate, Victoria, Bronze Proof Pice, 1898 (KM 1). Uncirculated, toned a deep mahogany colour and struck with full Proof characteristics, similar to the coin in the previous lot but with a little more mint red and slightly less 'mirror finish' to the fields.
The Proofs are basically all a collector can expect if they are looking for Mint State and better coins for their collections, but that can still mean a 10 year wait between opportunities to buy.
Part of the Arielle Collection Of British Colonial Coins.
Estimate: £300-500
