George II gold 5 Guineas 1746-LIMA XF40 NGC, KM586.1, S-3665. Decimo Nono edge. A superb 5 Guineas bearing the renowned 'Lima' hallmark, denoting that the specie for its production was captured from Spanish treasure ships transporting gold and silver mined in Peru. Far more silver specie was brought to the tower than gold, and so 5 Guineas made from the Lima treasure are very scarce; we are merely fortunate to be able to offer two in the same sale! This specimen is a deep gold with reddish tints to the legend, circulation wear shallow and even, highly attractive for the certified grade and a premium example of this coveted gold issue.
