PCGS PROOF-63 Gold Shield. Mintage: 11 (or less). Dazzling and fully brilliant, this choice proof issue offers an INCREDIBLY RARE chance at a piece issued solely as a 'proof of record' by the Royal mint in London. A charming golden-olive nature accentuates what is already robust eye appeal. Ex: South African Mint Collection."
