George II Crown 1746-LIMA AU58 NGC, KM585.3, S-3689. With glossy prooflike surfaces, this is an enticing example of this popular Crown produced from captured Spanish silver. Free from all but the lightest wear, George's portrait is bold and prominent with a moody oil-slick toning; the reverse matches with hints of light cobalt blue playing over the darkened surfaces. An ever-popular type for its 'treasure' hallmark, and a piece which appears essentially as-made.
