George II gold "East India Company" 5 Guineas 1729 AU53 PCGS, KM571.2, S-3664. With 'E.I.C.' boldly impressed beneath George II's laureate portrait in representation of the 'East India Company', this is one of the few 5 Guinea pieces produced bearing a hallmark (besides the more commonly seen elephant below bust). Bright and sunny in its color with light wear to the highpoints, a piece which clearly saw moderate circulation yet did not lose its mint luster nor major sharpness of detail. An issuance from a group unmatched in conjuring up associations with British Colonialism, and an ever-popular type thus.
