Great Britain
Charles I gold Unite (20 Shillings) 1643 XF40 NGC, Oxford mint, Plume mm, KM254, S-2734, N-2389, Brooker-851. A still-lustrous representative boasting a clear portrait of the ill-fated King, whose features remain comparatively well-expressed for the type. Slightly weak in the legends, though in every other respect a pleasing example, graced with a hint of pleasing honeyed tone draped over the surfaces. The lot is sold with the original catalog for the Sotheby's sale in which it was offered previously in 1977.
Ex. Greta Heckett Collection; Sotheby's (May 1977, Lot 17)
