George V Proof "Waitangi" Crown 1935 PR66 PCGS, KM6, Dav-433. Struck to commemorate the Treaty of Waitangi, the accord signed in 1840 between representatives of Britain and Māori chiefs of the North Island of New Zealand. One of New Zealand's most celebrated coins, an intricately engraved homage to one of the country's most celebrated historical and social events, preserved in premium gem state and tied for highest certified by either NGC or PCGS. Subtle reflectivity draws the eye, ever-so-lightly toned to a pale gold in places, the reverse fields exhibiting subdued cartwheel luster; an all-round pleasing specimen, scarcely encountered as highly certified as this.
