Lot 1242
Great Britain. Pattern ½ Sovereign, 1820. George III. WR-206. Plain edge. Designed and engraved by Thomas Wyon and Pistrucci. DM-138 (this same coin). Portrait similar to that on WR-202 but the surrounding legend is in larger letters. Reverse: thistle, shamrock & Tudor rose, with a crown above, and legend surrounding in letters of the same size as used on the obverse. A neat design that fits perfectly onto the flan; unfortunately it was not used for the currency coinage! R5 (6 to 10 known), state Wilson & Rasmussen. Exceptionally well preserved. Superb Choice Proof with a moderate cameo. Classic orange-peel surfaces. A great pattern! PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 12,500.
Ex Douglas-Morris and Pellegrino Collections.
