William & Mary gold "Elephant & Castle" 5 Guineas 1691 XF Details (Mount Removed) NGC, Royal mint, KM479.2, S-3423. Tertio edge. Coveted at all levels of quality, this inaugural year from the brief reign of William and Mary shows the elephant and castle hallmark below the conjoined busts of William and Mary, signifying that the gold used to produce this coin was procured in Guinea by The Africa Company of Merchants. Despite evidence of mount removal along the rims and a number of heavier, post-strike imperfections in the obverse fields, detail across the illustrations remains rather bold for the grade; and miraculously, remnants of original luster still manage to brighten from the recesses. As a whole, this coin should not to be overlooked for its minor faults, as it is sure to bring a heightened level of sophistication to its next collection.
