Great Britain
George III silver Pattern 1/2 Crown 1799 MS63 NGC, Forrer II, p.170. Engraved by J. Milton and struck by Matthew Yound for Colonel Fullerton. The largest denomination of this Pattern-only series, beautifully preserved with subdued reflectivity in the fields and a delicate blue-gold patina. Featuring the bust of George, Prince of Wales as Steward of Scotland and commonly thought of as a Scottish pattern, but in actual fact a British coin as the reverse design depicts the Arms of England. Intensely attractive and highly appealing.
