GREAT BRITAIN. 5 Guineas, 1692 Year QVARTO. London Mint. William III & Mary II. NGC EF-45.
Fr-299; KM-479.1; S-3422. An endlessly sought type due to its immense size, this example saw modest circulation, but has escaped many of the perils often associated. No evidence of cleaning is seen, and marks, while present as one might expect of a circulated gold coin, are evenly placed with no instance commanding attention. What's more, charming tone that ranges from orange to red appears over both sides and serves to warm the appearance, while building up its character. Altogether, a wonderful example; sure to bring great pleasure to the owner of the next collection it enters.
Estimate: $15000 - $25000
