Great Britain. Pattern Rose Guinea in gold, 1774. WR-95. S-3728. By Pingo. George III, 1760-1820. Fourth Laureate Head, right. Reverse: Crowned and garnished shield. Plain, bevelled edge. A nice-looking Proof, but it has a faint scratch by the king's portrait in the obverse field. Rare. NGC graded Proof 62 Cameo.
Obviously a Specimen, struck to preserve an example of this new-portrait Rose Guinea for the various museums, to which it was sold by the Royal Mint. The die-bulge in the right reverse field is found on almost all examples.
