TONGA. Koula, 1962. PCGS PROOF-63 Gold Shield.Fr-1; KM-3. An impressive and majestic large gold issue, featuring Queen Salote Tupou III and the Tongan coat of arms. Fully lustrous and brilliant, with stunningly mirrored surfaces. A few light marks in the fields are noted, and prevent an even higher designation. Tied with just one other example as the finest graded by PCGS.
