<B>George IV pattern "Lion" Shilling 1825,</B></I> Bare Head, Small Lion reverse, reeded edge, the prototype for the Bare Head coinage, this marvelously engraved specimen being distinguished on its reverse by a smaller (crowned) lion atop a large central crown -- different by being more compact than the image that appears on the currency issues which began in this year. ESC-1264, rated R5, extremely rare, just 5 to 10 pieces known, of which this splendid coin is very likely the finest extant (the cataloguer, BL, has seen only two others, one impaired and the other a PR60+ with drab toning). This coin: PR66 PCGS, a Superb Gem Proof with absolutely <I>marvelous </B></I>violet-gold iridescence on the obverse, mated with exquisite golden blue and silvery green iridescence on the reverse. A stunning classic of the Georgian Age. This wondrous specimen is a Terner Registry coin at PCGS, the highest graded -- and one of a kind for quality!<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
