Extremely rare coin with impressive provenance and exceptional eye appeal. Pattern proof, unlisted previously in British Silver Coins. Struck with Obverse 1, hence differing from the usual proofs from the sets which are Obverse 2. This difference is apparent in the treatment of the imperial insignia which is smaller and surrounded with small pearls, also having a domed appearance with the 'VRI' monogram indistinct and positioned to the left, whereas the final adopted piece for currency is more central. The unusually broad edge has compensated for the slightly smaller bust. Exceptionally attractive cinnamon toning with sea blue flashing. Comes from the private collection of Peter J Davies, author of "British Silver Coins since 1816", generally regarded as the definitive work on the subject.
