CEYLON. 96 Stivers (Double Rix Dollar), 1808. Adriaan Pieter Blume's (Private) Mint. George III. NGC AU-58.
KM-79; Prid-1. Undoubtedly, a premium-quality example of this first-year type, exhibiting virtually nothing in the way of handling and presenting an alluring deep gray cabinet tone accentuated by a veneer of olive green. Meanwhile, the strike is far beyond the scope of what is normally encountered, with tremendous centering and expert precision. For the collector of this series, it is difficult to imagine doing better than this entrancing and enthralling specimen.
Ex: Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection.
