I don't have a setup sufficient to adequately reflect the loveliness of this coin, so gone down the detail route. It has a satin glisten to it and the difference between this and say a matte BU £5 is quite considerable to my eye, deeper and more gentle, but impossible to show unless in hand. As far as I know, there haven’t been any matte proofs since 1902 outside of couple of 1911, 1937 and 1953 patterns issued for photography purposes (?) super and @Paul, i HODL 😄

Not good enough QC28, not good at all...

 
Lots of frosting missing from the horse's legs and dragon's wing.
Not sure what is behind George's head, but it's really stuck on there!
And for added authenticity, look what's coming out of the horse's rear!

 
Again, lots of damaged/missing frosting on the "GRA - REX" lettering and on the cheek/nose.
All can be seen with the naked eye.
