George V Proof Waitangi Crown 1935 PR66 Cameo NGC, KM6. Mintage: 468. A lovely specimen and very likely the finest we have ever offered of this world-renowned Crown. On both sides, the fields remain bright, yet deeply mirrored with delicate sprinkles of navy-blue and mauve tone. Inspection with a loupe further confirms the premium quality, with the surfaces remaining nearly entirely absent of imperfection. Most impressive however is the cameo contrast that renders the central bust of George IV and the Treaty of Waitangi scene on the reverse in fine satin texture! Very rare on this type, NGC and PCGS combined have only certified 5 of the 130 graded examples as "Cameo". This is the finest! As such, a coin that we can easily see as bound for an elite cabinet.
Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
