British India. Madras Presidency gilt-copper Proof 1/48 Rupee 1794 PR66 Cameo PCGS, Soho mint, KM394b, Prid-312. Exceedingly sharp and exhibiting a strike and surface more akin to a modern product than a piece more than two centuries old. To say this coin displays an impressive level of preservation would be an understatement, with so few distracting marks and depth to the fields one would expect an even more unfathomable "Deep Cameo" designation. Regardless, the current specimen represents the peak of certified examples and as such will command a premium.
