Great Britain
Charles II 1/2 Crown 1684/3 XF45 NGC, KM408, S-3367, ESC-499 (R4). Only exists as an overdate, but the error very light in this specimen. Extremely rare in any grade, primarily seen on the market in Fair-Fine grades; accordingly this firm XF example is a clear outlier for the type. Dating from Charles II's final regnal year, this specimen exhibits a strong portrait of the King with light rub to the high points, the reverse with fewer handling marks and a light iridescent patina. Hardly ever encountered in this state, a wonderful specimen and a must-have for the dedicated collector of British Halfcrowns.
