William & Mary gold "Elephant & Castle" 5 Guineas 1694 AU Details (Rim Repair) NGC, KM479.2, Fr-299, S-3423, Schneider-Unl. SEXTO edge. An attractive lesser-circulated selection of this highly popular type issued under the joint rulers, William and Mary, following the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The offering displays strong traces of original luster amidst appealing detail that leaves ample room for admiration, the noted rim repair appearing relatively minor and hardly distracting in hand. An excellent offering for the type collector seeking an aesthetically sound example without entering the ultra high-budget territory required in the acquisition of a technically finer selection of this coveted issue.
Ex. Bonhams (March 1999, Lot 180)
