Victoria 1887 proof Half-Sovereign, Golden Jubilee issue
Victoria (1837-1901), gold proof Half-Sovereign, 1887, Golden Jubilee issue, crowned and veiled Jubilee style bust left, I.E.B. on truncation for designer Joseph Edgard Boehm, Latin legend and toothed border surrounding, VICTORIA DEI GRATIA, rev. struck en medaille, crowned quartered shield of arms, date below, BRITANNIARUM REGINA FID: DEF:, edge milled, weight 3.93g (WR 362; Hill 478G; S.3869). Some light handling marks and hairlines, hairline scratches in obverse field, toned on reverse, the coin a little dished as usual with these small gold proofs of 1887 as there was clearly more pressure on the reverse die in the strike to being the obverse relief outward, good extremely fine, practically as struck.
The Latin legends translates on obverse as "Victoria by the Grace of God," and on the reverse "Queen of the Britons, Defender of the Faith."
One of only 797 pieces issued for the Golden Jubilee.
Provenance:
Ex Dr Rolf Baumhauer, British gold collection, part 3, Sincona auction 80, 25th October 2022, lot 2489.
