Great Britain: George II gold Proof 5 Guineas 1729 PR63 NGC,...
Description
Immensely Flashy Proof 5 Guineas
George II gold Proof 5 Guineas 1729 PR63 NGC, KM571.1,
S-3663, W&R-67 (R4). Plain edge. An astounding survivor and of
a type far less common than the more prolific East India Company
variety, seldom appearing at auction in any condition, let alone in
a spectacular Choice Proof state of preservation. The mirrored
fields project elegance and refinement; no doubt this particular
piece was struck to be delivered on a special occasion or perhaps
presented as a gift to a guest of honor. The impressive provenance
speaks to its distinguished history. Already a great rarity in a
business-strike finish at comparable assignments, we anticipate
elevated interest in this singular Proof specimen on the NGC
census.Ex. St. James Auction 11 (May 2009, Lot 146); Douglas-Morris Collection (Sotheby's, November 1974, Lot 69); Vivian Hewitt Collection (1960s)
