1887 Proof Sovereign

An attractive example of this popular Jubilee issue. The deeply reflective cameo fields make up for the light scuffing. Overall, an ideal coin for the type collector and the only way to get an 1887 Jubilee head sovereign from London with the legend type 2 obverse design (all the business strikes or currency issues bear the first legend type). Scarce, with a mintage of only 797 pieces.
