An exceptional example of this scarce proof-only date from the final-year of the series. Deep reflective fields contrast beautifully with sharply defined design elements. The bold shield and ornate scrollwork on the obverse and the reverse wreath and denomination are crisply struck, with rich chocolate-brown coloration and subtle underlying ice-blue and red hues. A superbly preserved Gem Proof, devoid of marks and spots, with outstanding eye appeal.
