Great Britain
George IV gold Proof 5 Pound 1826, raised lettered Septimo edge, KM702, S-3797, PR62 Ultra Cameo NGC. An appealing example of this type, originally issued in sets, with vivid cameo contrast. Wispy hairlines visible to the naked eye are to be found throughout the fields along with a few scattered ticks but no marks are individually notable for their effect on the overall allure of this piece. The exacting nature of the strike has resulted in heavily frosted devices of exquisite detail; very attractive and certain to elicit a strong response from specialists in British proof gold.
