George III gold "Military" Guinea 1813 AU55 PCGS, KM664, S-3730. The final year of the Guinea's production and a very popular type thus, this issue was only produced to pay troops fighting in the Napoleonic Wars hence its being dubbed the 'military' Guinea. It would be replaced four years later with the first of the iconic Sovereigns. This Almost Uncirculated specimen has been conservatively graded, bearing no discernible wear and only the usual softness of strike to George's portrait. The planchet is vibrantly lustrous, particularly on the reverse which has the appearance of a Mint State coin. Exceptionally fine for an AU coin, a fantastic representative of the type.
