Lot 31091 > Victoria Proof Crown 1839 PR64 Cameo NGC, KM741, S-3882. Plain edge. Heralding from Victoria's 1839 Proof set (a delayed issue commemorating her coronation in 1837), and by far the most popular silver offering included in this group; indeed, this is likely Britain's most popular Proof set of all time for its wide array of currency and Proof types, most notably the Una and the Lion 5 Pounds. This offering boasts superlative preservation and notably a 'cameo' designation for its gorgeous, gleaming portrait of the young Queen picked out in matte frost, the fields behind darkened through a rich pink-violet tone yet flashing into brilliance when tilted in the light. Exhibiting immense eye appeal and a covetable technical quality, this piece is sure to find its way into an elite collection of high-grade British Crowns.
