George IV Proof Pattern 1/2 Crown 1824 PR64 NGC, KM688, S-3809, ESC-2386 (R4). Plain edge. A coin whose Pattern status is instantly appreciable, owing not least to its heavily polished dies for which the type is well-known, though also for its antiqued finish--indicating long-term storage as a treasured cabinet piece. The finer of only two that NGC has seen to date, the coin at hand contours its already medallic reliefs with a deeply mottled accenting gold-hued tone, itself set against surrounding fields that well with gunmetal color and just a hint of indigo. The only example of this incredibly fleeting Pattern we have presented. We note that it is also one of an excessively small handful to come to auction in recent years, making it a key target for the connoisseur of the series.
