Great Britain
William III gold 5 Guineas 1699 XF Details (Scratches) NGC, KM505.1, S-3454, Schneider-478. UN DECIMO edge. A most pleasing first-year issue of this large-format gold type bearing the regal laureate bust of William III; wonderfully executed and bearing striking resemblances to his contemporary portraiture. Fully embossed upon a uniformly goldenrod planchet with only light to moderate wear notable throughout the devices, while small but pervasive wisps and scratches gently populate the surfaces, defining the conditional qualifier. Regardless, the specimen at hand is in rare company and comes to market quite infrequently in any grade, making for a hotly contested opportunity.
