Great Britain
Commonwealth gold Unite 1654 AU55 NGC, Sun mm, KM395.1, S-3208, N-2715, Schneider-342. 9.04gm. One of only a handful of survivors from this exceedingly scarce emission and only the third we've had the opportunity to handle in recent years. A pale-gold representative that admits few flaws even to the scrupulous eye with only the lightest degree of scattered handling traceable throughout and light softness to the peripheries one expects from these hammered issues. Residual luster still decorates some protected regions of the legends which will propel this piece into the minds of collectors of this often tough series.
Ex. Collection of a Berkshire Gentleman (Heritage Auction #3067, September 2018, Lot 31572)
