BRITISH HONDURAS. 50 Cents, 1894. London Mint. Victoria. PCGS PROOF-63. KM-10; Prid-4A. Mintage: 25 (estimated). The second finest certified of the date in this format on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, only one finer (NGC PF-64). Bright, flashy and very attractive, this sparkling survivor boasts crisp frosty devices with hard mirrored fields. Close inspection reveals trivial marks or abrasions associated with the designated grade. Faint amber hued patina near the edges complements this charming piece adding to its pleasing appearance. According to Fred Pridmore the model by sculptor William Thead that was used for the effigy of Queen Victoria was originally used for the coinage of Hong Kong. Estimate: $3,000 - $5,000.
