George IV gold Proof 2 Pounds 1826, KM701, S-3799, WR-228 (R2 - "Very Rare"), PR64 Cameo NGC. Highly collectible in any state, but seldom encountered as well preserved as the present piece. A spectacular jewel, dynamically contrasted, and "deeply cameoed" in the eyes of this cataloger, with fields that remain perfectly reflective and showcase hints of tone, suggestive of centuries of careful cabinet placement. Moreover, the obverse and reverse central designs maintain decadent, satiny frost, that are free of even the implication of handling - a truly splendid combination! For the collector of British proof issues in glittering gold, or the connoisseur of important world type, an unmistakably important opportunity awaits in this lot.
Estimate: 10000-12000 USD
