George V 1935 VIP Proof Threepence PF66

George V (1910-36), V.I.P. Proof Threepence, 1935, struck in 0.500 silver, bare head left, BM raised on truncation for designer Sir Bertram MacKennal (1863-1931), legend and toothed border surrounding, GEORGIVS V D. G. BRITT: OMN: REX F. D. IND: IMP:, rev. struck en medaille, three oak sprigs with acorns in a triangular formation, small G at centre for designer George Kruger Gray (1880-1943), denomination in words surrounding, THREE. .PENCE., date at bottom (Bull 3961 R6; ESC 2148 note; Davies 1958; S.4042). Toned, practically as struck, has been slabbed and graded by NGC as PF66, extremely rare for the Silver Jubilee year.

NGC certification 627534-005 - the slab dates from the 1990s.

The Latin legends translate to on obverse "George the Fifth by the Grace of God King of all the Britons, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India."

These proof issues were only struck at this period of time as a matter of record or for special presentation to V.I.P. visitors to the Royal Mint and the Silver Jubilee year coins seem rarer than some of the other dates.

Provenance:

Ex St James Auction 21, 19th April 2012, lot 433.

Ex A. H. Baldwin, Fixed Price List, Summer 2013, item BM272.
