Charles II gold Guinea 1683 AU58 PCGS, KM440.1, S-3344. The Guinea denomination came into existence during the reign of Charles II, and this superb 1683 example represents one of the final years of issue bearing this much beloved King's portrait. Fully lustrous, the buttercup-yellow planchet exhibiting practically no wear indicative of extremely limited circulation, the strike boldly rendered giving excellent detail to the devices. This piece is the sole example certified by PCGS, with only two others certified by NGC - an AU55 and an MS61. Accordingly, it is safe to say that this Guinea is near the absolute ceiling of quality for the type and would make a 'kingly' addition to any advanced collection.
