<B>George III pattern Half-Sovereign, 1820.</B></I> WR-206. DM-138 (this coin). Plain edge. Rated R5 (Exceedingly Rare) by Wilson and Rasmussen. Engraved by Thomas Wyon (with "assistance" from Pistrucci). "Roman Head" portrait in high relief. Reverse features the unique motif of the rose, thistle and shamrock on branches from a single trunk, with leaves behind the symbolic elements and a crown above them all. Clearly influenced by the methodology of Wyon's 1816 pattern piece, this marvelously engraved coin is nothing short of "high art" in gold! Also, one of the finest of the few pieces known: PR64 CAM PCGS <I>Terner Registry.</B></I> Very choice, if not in fact a gem, with brilliant surfaces that gleam with an unusual intensity. Distinct "orange peel" texture to the Proof fields, producing marvelous eye-appeal. Just a fabulous coin and an ultra-rarity as well.<BR><I>Ex Pellegrino, Douglas-Morris.</B></I> <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
