George II gold "East India Company" 5 Guineas 1729 AU58 PCGS, KM571.2, S-3664, Schneider-556. A captivating example whose near-Mint State preservation is evident by a balanced spread of original luster decorating the entirety of the golden planchet's surfaces. The strike is sound, with even the smaller details well-expressed, including George's curls and the more intricate features of the reverse shield design. Minute flow lines are discernible within the legends, these bordered by an even rim, indicating a well-centered strike. Charming to behold in hand, and an important part of British numismatic history, this lovely "EIC" 5 Guineas is bound to impress.
