George II gold 5 Guineas 1753 AU55 NGC, KM586.2, Fr-334, S-3666, Schneider-566. SEXTO edge. Bold and elegantly rendered, this impressive large-sized gold issue of George II features luminous golden fields that shine with glossy mint brilliance. Typical striking weakness is apparent upon certain high points of the portrait, but there is very little true wear, as evidenced by the loss of essentially no detail to the reverse design. An attractive and engaging specimen.
