George VI gold Proof 5 Pounds 1937 PR65+ Cameo PCGS, KM861, S-4074, W&R-435. Mintage: 5,500. A needle-sharp conditional outlier, resulting in near-medallic features that project boldly towards the viewer, rising in clear contrast against deeply reflective lemon-gold fields largely devoid significant imperfection. Certainly one of the more recognizable gold issues from the 20th century, always garnering significant bidder interest when encountered at auction, especially when seen in gem states of preservation or finer, and designated a "Cameo" superlative. Veiled in a prominent obverse frost and watery reverse, all contributing to a superior aesthetic caliber, and we anticipate an elevated collector response commensurate with this fact.
