This from a recent London coins auction it was slabbed as a proof by the British TPG, LCGS:


Compare this to a proof (66 Cam at our hosts):


Love that Milled British (1830-1960)
Well, just Love coins, period.

    Matte proof vs. mirror proof?

    Mirror proof. Def. not a matte, although that would have been a bargain if so (it is not for sure). The top coin just does not appear to be a proof when comparing details like definition in George's hair, etc.

    Surprisingly this was a CGS88 proof, and indeed it is a proof in hand. I personally would have graded it US TPG style as a proof 65

    Not a proof. Denticles not fully separated from rim.

    Well, no the OP 1937 Crown is a proof as you can make out from the last two pictures...
    Mintage on the Philippines 1977 proof 50 Piso is: 6704 according to most sources.
