IRELAND. Bronzed Copper 6 Shillings Bank Token Pattern, 1804. Soho (Birmingham) Mint. George III. NGC PROOF-68★ Brown.
S-6615; KM-Tn1c (previously KM-PNA34). This magnificent example of the popular Irish Bank Token coinage far surpasses all competition with a grade two points higher than the next closest example certified by either NGC or PCGS. It beggars belief how such a piece could survive to the present day in this state of preservation with enchanting chocolate brown surfaces that are entirely unafflicted by even the most minor of marks. The full artistry of the design reaches mythical heights when played out on a canvas so perfect as this planchet.
Estimate: $9000 - $12000
