Description

George IV gold Proof 5 Pounds 1826, S3797, Bare Head, PF61 Cameo NGC, deeply mirrored fields, subtle frosting to the portrait, light hairlines and some ticks from handling, pleasing old-time gold color. The raised lettered edge is particularly striking on this size coin, proclaiming the Septimo year of the reign while serving, technically, as an anti-counterfeiting device. Fairly rare and a classic of the 19th century.
