Australia
South Australia. British Colony - Victoria gold "Adelaide" Pound 1852 MS62+ NGC, KM2, Fr-3, Rennik-pg. 21, McDonald-pg. 41. Type II reverse with dentilated/crenellated inner border. A classic rarity within the Australian series and one whose composition is easily discernible from afar. Highly original and impeccably well-preserved at the very cusp of a coveted Choice designation. The honeyed golden fields serve as host to the surprisingly crisp devices, which even in higher grades are notoriously weak. Awash in an entrancing aurous glow that elevates the aesthetic allure and will surely pique the interest of advanced collectors.
