Great Britain
William III gold "Elephant & Castle" 1/2 Guinea 1696 AU58 NGC, KM487.2, S-3467. The highest grade level for this rare hallmarked type at NGC with no examples graded by PCGS. Immensely warm in color, the butterscotch color of the metal overlaid with an orange-red tone; mint luster gleams beneath the patina, the highpoint detail near complete and the coin itself clearly almost Mint State.
