Great Britain
Anne "Vigo" 6 Pence 1703 MS63 NGC, S-3590, Pre-Union issue. Beautiful bright blue iridescent toning. The portrait and reverse shield are pleasing, but an ancient rectangular scratch appears in the field before the queen's face. Minted from silver specie captured in a famous battle at Vigo Bay in 1702 near the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession. In triumph, the British placed the taunting hallmark "VIGO" in bold letters beneath the queen's portrait.
Estimate: 500-700 USD
