COINS, WEST INDIES, BRITISH GUIANA William IV (1830-1837), Silver Proof 1/8-Guilder, 1835/3/2 (as Pr 27A; KM 16). Uncirculated Proof, light hairlines and somewhat dull which is very typical for the Proofs of this series.
You will find only the 1836 proof coins choice. What is very interesting about this overdate is that it is a different die to the previous 1/8-Guilder, the under numbers 3 and 2 are punched in lower and stronger. One could argue that this is because this was struck first and the die wore down through its striking, but the 1 is double struck while the circulation piece is not.
Estimate: £350-450
