British India. William IV gold Proof Restrike 2 Mohurs 1835-(c) PR61 NGC, Calcutta mint, KM452.1, Prid-3, S&W-1.4. An incredibly popular issue with widespread interest among collectors, this restrike issue combines ample flash in the lemon-hued fields with finely detailed engravings. As is usual for the type, light handling in the form of fine hairlines and the occasional mark defines the grade, but sharply sculpted detail throughout the King's portrait, and more importantly, over the iconic reverse design, immediately commands the viewer's attention. For reference, the last two examples we sold in this desired PR61 certified quality realized $26,400 (January 2018) and $31,200 (April 2020), and we expect similar, if not increased participation from the bidder community for this spectacular specimen offered herein.
