Extremely Rare, R5
NGC Proof 63. Extremely attractive. Precisely struck in great detail. Very bold colour - particularly on reverse - with wisps of warm orange in bloom. Extremely rare. 6-10 examples known.
- Rated R5, extremely rare. There are only 6-10 examples.
- One of the earliest patterns of Richard Yeo, if not the earliest.
- An extremely attractive and accomplished portrait of George III in stunning preservation.
This coin is a beautiful example of an extremely rare and sought-after pattern issue. Only around six examples have publicly traded hands in the last 20 years. Richard Yeo's masterful depiction of a youthful George III exists here in prime form, with a strong strike, just minimal cabinet wear, and beautiful, glowing surfaces. The subtle shape of the King's features are accented by a satiny lustre that creates a touching realism. This simple naturalism is complimented by the precise and intricate locks of hair, accented by the radiant grooves which surround each lock. This phenomenal pattern would have pride of place in any world-class collection.
