British Colony silver Proof Dollar 1791 PR64 PCGS, KM6, FT-2A, Dav-57. Mintage: 40. Plain Edge. A stunning British Colonial rarity, featuring the "100" [Cents] denomination instead of the slightly rarer "1" [Dollar] variety, but still, this is an iconic treasure coveted throughout the world. Each side contains a classic design motif, still captivating centuries after its creation; the famous Sierra Leone lion obverse, and the clasped hands reverse that is also seen on the "Am I Not A Man" anti-slavery Conder tokens of the same time period. The designs present at their grandest capability on this Crown-sized flan which was the largest denomination of the series. Flashy antique-silver patina is enlivened by iridescent champagne effervescence, creating an overall aesthetic that is both dynamic and elegant. With no distractions of note, this is a Choice piece for the assigned grade and a specimen that will strongly appeal to Sierra Leone specialists and World Crown collectors with impeccable taste.
