KM-PS17, S-PS11. Set Mintage: 2,812. A Coronation set that is always a treat to handle when encountered intact and so brilliant. The gold issues set the standard for the group, beaming with watery brilliance that enlivens a pervading gamboge tone. The silver issues follow suit, displaying dizzying patinas of lemon, cerulean, grape, and amber. As a whole, the devices face up crisp and full, George V's effigy never lessening in impact as one pans through the set. This offering is pedigreed to the Amon Carter Collection and is sold with its original case of issue.
Ex. Amon Carter Collection (Stacks Bowers, January 1982, Lot 1624)
