CYPRUS. Archbishop Makarios III 5 Pounds, 1966. NGC PROOF-62 CAMEO.Fr-6a; KMX-M5.1. Reeded edge. From a mintage of 1,500 for Business Strikes and Proofs combined. Choice for the grade and exceptionally eye appealing for the type with stunning orange peel texture in the deeply reflective fields and stark frost over the raised designs. As an issue, encountered in certified Proof grade far less frequently than MS, with examples designated as Cameo being quite <strong>RARE</strong>, this being the first we have seen offered at auction.
