Willem I Proof 2-1/2 Gulden 1840 PR63 Cameo NGC, Utrecht mint, KM67, Dav-234, cf. Schulman-257 (not listed in Proof). Showcasing remarkable craftsmanship in the sculpted portrait of the King that raises in bold contrast against the nearly black field. The reverse exhibits ample die polish lines underneath the needle-sharp rendering of the Coat of Arms, yielding an overall sense of quality and prestige. Conditionally very scarce in Cameo and currently bested by only two pieces across PCGS and NGC graded populations.
