[3136] Great Britain. Pattern bronze Halfpenny by Weyl,
<Our item number 77672><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Pattern bronze Halfpenny by Weyl, 1887.</B> Queen Victoria crowned, Jubilee style, with legends in English. Engraved by the German die-cutter Adolph Weyl. P-2192. Bronzed. Date curiously placed, split into two digits on each side at the top of the queen&#39;s crown. The ornate reverse replaces one shield of the traditional royal insignia with an engraved elephant, seal and kangaroo, symbols of parts of the far-flung Empire; and Peck believed that these rare patterns were suggestions for a coinage for the dominions of the Empire. Plain edge &#40;not viewable in the slab&#41;. Freeman-929: R19 &#40;2-5 known&#41;. What a coin this is! Gleaming mirror surfaces: bright iridescent blue toning on the obverse surrounds the portrait, while the reverse is exquisite with deep mauve over milk-chocolate bronzing. The Terner 2 coin &#40;lot 445&#41; was PCGS PR66 and fetched &#36;1,495. This coin is equally beautiful. <BR><BR>The Cheshire collector&#39 ;s notes concerning this rarity are well worth repeating here: &#34;Interestingly this proposed pattern for a change in the bronze coinage features the controversial &#39;Golden Jubilee&#39; crowned head of Victoria, used extensively on the gold and silver coins of Britain 1887 to 1893 but never used on the bronze coins. The familiar uncrowned &#39;bun&#39; head remained in use until the advent of the Old or Veiled Head on all bronze coins in 1895. Only a few specimens of this rare piece were made.&#34; Indeed, a prize for the advanced collector of British bronzes! <B>NGC graded Proof 65 Brown.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,200-1,400. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77672<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077672.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077672N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
