1937 Proof VIP Shilling - PCGS PR66

Fiji, 1937 Proof VIP Shilling -

A rare proof VIP issue. While the mintage is unknown, it’s clear that only a handful of pieces were issued. The last example to appear on the market at public auction sold in London in 2014 and then 2008 before that. PCGS has graded two pieces, of which the present example is the single-finest (10/23), while NGC has graded just one. If you’re seeking an unusual world rarity that won’t cost five figures, this coin, photographed above, is an essential acquisition.
