Description

George VI Proof Halfpenny 1949, S4118, P2449 (extremely rare), PR65 RB NGC, another gem but this one has an entirely different look from the 1948, its surfaces an intense orangey fire-red, with a ring of bright iridescent blue hues on the reverse periphery. There is no documentation but it is likely that many of the Proofs of Record in this collection were formerly part of the Norweb Collection, sold in the mid-1980s in London.
From the Exeter College Collection

Metal: Copper-Nickel
