William & Mary gold 5 Guineas 1691 AU58 NGC, KM479.1, Fr-299, S-3422, Schneider-Unl. TERTIO edge. An exceptional example of this scarce 5 Guineas issue, boasting a hearty magenta patina over the obverse fields that transitions to violet and a hint of blue-green near the peripheries. A hint of friction over the obverse devices limits the coin from a Mint State designation, but the reverse appears essentially uncirculated, with bright, full luster pervading the fields. Presently surpassed by only one example in the NGC census, in MS63, and a highly respectable representation of this pleasing jugate bust type.
Ex. Spink Auction 5028 (May 2005, Lot 124)
