1937 Great Britain George VI Half Sovereign Proof Gold Coin NGC PF 65 Cameo
A masterpiece of 20th-century British coinage, the 1937 Great Britain George VI Half Sovereign Proof Gold Coin NGC PF 65 Cameo is a stunning high-grade proof from the first year of King George VI’s reign. Struck by the Royal Mint in 22-karat gold with an actual gold weight of 0.1178 troy oz, this coin has been awarded the exceptional NGC PF 65 Cameo grade, showcasing deep mirrored fields and frosted devices that create a beautiful contrast.
Humphrey Paget, the renowned designer, had originally created the portrait for Edward VIII. Following Edward’s abdication in 1936, Paget was given just one month to redesign the portrait for the new king. The result was a resounding success, widely regarded as one of the finest coinage portraits of the 20th century. George VI faces left (maintaining tradition), with a dignified and noble expression that perfectly captured the spirit of the new monarch during a pivotal moment in British history.
