S-3872; Fr-394A; KM-787; WR-287 (Scarce). Mintage: 773. A piece that captivates the senses and impresses its appeal to the eyes, this immaculate 5 Pounds renders phenomenal ultra-cameo distinction with deeply mirrored devices that contrast the thickly frosted devices and cause them to pop off the flan. Some stray marks attributable to friction are seen, likely accounting for the grade. The old head design testifies to the length of Victoria's reign and this piece perfectly highlights the heights that Victorian England reached. A tremendous example certain to captivate much attention. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click here.
