British Coins, Victoria, five pounds, 1887, ‘Jubilee’ bust l., rev. St. George and the dragon (S.3864), certified and graded by PCGS as Mint State 65, blessed with satiny lustre and pleasing amber-gold iridescent toning This one-year type was made primarily for exchanges between banks, and as a consequence the vast majority of examples show either outright abuse from commerce or numerous abrasions and scuffs.
British Coins, Victoria, proof two pounds, 1887, ‘Jubilee’ bust l., rev. St. George and the dragon, no B.P. in exergue (S.3865; W&R.290), certified and graded by NGC as Proof 64* Ultra Cameo, rare in this high grade The type generally issued in the proof set, this was purchased from Baldwin’s in the 1920s.
British Coins, Victoria, proof crown, 1847, UNDECIMO, ‘Gothic’ bust l., rev. crowned, cruciform shields (S.3883; ESC.288; Bull 2571), certified and graded by PCGS as Proof 67, a stunningly beautiful and superbly preserved example of this, possibly the most beautifully designed crown minted in England since Thomas Simon’s patterns This is the most-seen variety (the edge style) of this extremely popular Victorian coin. While 8000 were struck in this year, the vast majority of those coins were bought by gentlemen to be carried as pocket pieces. The result is that nearly all of the mintage was mishandled. Many were polished over the years. Not many were actually damaged, but marks, hairlines, scrapes and even cuts are common. It is, in fact, the pristine coin that is rare, and here we have a coin which approaches perfection and is a model of what is often loosely described as ‘pristine’. If you are seeking a Gothic crown that has retained its originality which glistens with mirrorlike reflectivity, and which offers splendid iridescent toning, you need look no further. This is it!
British Coins, Victoria, proof ‘godless’ florin, 1848, struck en médaille, crowned bust l., rev. crowned cruciform shields (S.3890; ESC.886B; Bull 2916), certified and graded by PCGS as Proof 65, an elegant and beautifully toned example of this first style of Gothic florin, very rare in proof state

He was a tax-gatherer from Adramytium who reluctantly accepted the purple when the troops in Opsikion revolted against Anastasius II. He appears to have had little appetite for governing and abdicated in 717 to become a monk. He has been identified with the bishop ‘Theodosius of Ephesus, son of Apsimar’, who was spiritual advisor to Leo III in the 720s and presided over Constantine V’s Iconoclastic Council in 754.

World Coins, Egypt, Fuad I, pattern silver 20 piastres, AH 1348/1929CE, struck at the Royal Mint, London, on a small thick flan, military bust l, initials PM (Percy Metcalfe), rev. value and date above central circle, 37mm., wt. 25.98gms. (KM.-), light grey toning, an unpublished coin, extremely fine, of the highest rarity In 1929 King Fuad ordered the minting of new coins and two designs for the 20 piastres were submitted for approval. The first was by the Egyptian designer Hamed Effendi Serri, which continued to show the King in civilian dress. The second, designed by Percy Metcalfe of the Royal Mint in London, portrayed the King in military uniform. King Fuad, an avid collector (a forerunner to his legendary father) chose the latter in order to have more variety in his coinage. It is interesting to note that this pattern was produced on a smaller and thicker flan than the issued coin (ref: Encyclopedia and Catalogue of Egyptian Coins by Eng Magdy Hanafy 2015, cf. p.226, where no illustration of this coin is available.)

(KM.-), light dull grey surfaces, extremely fine, unpublished - of the highest rarity See footnote to previous lot. It is also worth noting that Hanafy makes no reference to the production of patterns for the 10 piastres or indeed for any of the other denominations.
