Fuad I gold Proof 500 Piastres AH 1340 (1922) PR61 Cameo NGC, London mint, KM342. An exciting emission when encountered in any designation, let alone Proof and assigned a covetable "cameo" superlative. This large golden canvas perfectly suits the semi-medallic nature of the obverse, Fuad's portrait rendered in surprisingly high relief, projecting towards the viewer against glassy, low-lying fields beneath. While there are ample grade-limiting hairlines in the harvest-gold expanses, the piece at hand endures as an eye-appealing example.
