1937 Gold Proof Five Sovereign Graded NGC PF65
Obverse:
The bare head of the King facing left. The small letters H.P. standing for Humphrey Paget on the truncation. Legend: GEORGIVS VI D: G: BR: OMN: REX: F: D: IND: IMP:
Reverse:
St George slaying the dragon with sword. The date is shown below the exergue/ground line and initials B.P. for Benedetto Pistrucci to the right.
Condition:
Graded but not conserved with what appears to be strong Cameo on the Obverse and and hints on the Reverse, not reflected in the straight 65 grade! This coin could benefit from conservation which may positively enhance its eye appeal or leave as is for the more traditional collectors.
