Great Britain
George III Guinea 1797 MS62 NGC, KM608, S-3735. Charming and a true Mint State, unusually attractive for the type. Gold coinage lost some of its artistic flair in Britain during the late 18th century, due to the de facto gold standard necessitating production of copious amounts of Guineas, half Guineas, third Guineas and quarter Guineas. Accordingly, the engraving by Lewis Pingo starts to lose depth and realism. This Guinea, however, is a delight to observe and catches the eye with significant remaining luster. A premium piece.
