Great Britain
William & Mary gold 2 Guineas 1693 AU58 NGC, KM482.1, S-3424, Schneider-463. Stunning quality for this only two-year type that proves markedly difficult in anything approaching Mint State. The first example of the date we have offered since 2014, and only the second we have had the privilege to handle, with surprisingly few coming to auction in the meantime, the coin at hand has aged to a singular rosaceous hue, the surfaces continuing to emit a glassy luster with strikingly precise engraving throughout the designs. Prohibitive to acquire finer, and an on the whole captivating piece.
