Description
Awe-Inspiring New Guinea Proof Crown
German Colony. Wilhelm II Proof 5 Mark 1894-A PR67 Cameo
NGC, Berlin mint, KM7, J-707, Dav-429. An astounding example of
this beautiful and elegant one-year type, perhaps at the zenith of
visual appeal for the World Crown medium at-large in the Proof
format seen here. Every plume of the majestic Bird of Paradise is
shown in high definition and the portrait of the great bird overall
is frosted to such a high degree that it almost appears as if it
could be representing a masterpiece of ice sculpture. That
incredible frosted aesthetic applies to both sides of this
treasure, the motifs appearing as if suspended in the Arctic night
sky, frozen in time without nary a blemish of disturbance. This
example is one of only three NGC certified pieces to achieve a
Superb Gem assignment, and the only one to do so while also
receiving a Cameo designation (NGC has yet to apply an Ultra Cameo
to the type). An immaculate coin that is incredibly special at this
level of preservation; the sky is the limit for a piece like this
that should summon World Crown connoisseurs of the highest order.Metal: Silver
