George V Proof Crown 1935 PR64 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM842, S-4048. Raised edge lettering variety. A tempting representative of this popular Silver Jubilee Commemorative issue, showcasing a needlepoint rendering of Percy Metcalfe's Deco design on the reverse. The intense Ultra Cameo contrast between fields and devices is met with whispers of amber silhouette toning and hints of azure and magenta near the dentils. An affordable opportunity, as the type experiences a steep decline on NGC's census after PR64. Sold with original case of issue and historical clipping detailing the route of George V's Silver Jubilee Processional.
