Struck with deeply reflective proof surfaces, this coin displays rich mahogany-brown color with subtle underlying red highlights that enhance its outstanding originality and visual appeal. Both sides are boldly impressed, showcasing intricate detail in the standing figure and the beautifully rendered merchant ship reverse. The mirrored fields and razor-sharp definition create a striking presentation seldom encountered on 18th-century issues. A remarkable Gem proof example, combining historic significance, rarity, and exceptional preservation.
