Charles II gold "Elephant" 2 Guineas 1664 XF45 NGC, KM425.2, S-3334, Schneider-430. Elephant below bust. The first year of issue for this conditionally sensitive denomination, bearing the iconic elephant hallmark and overshadowed by the notoriety associated with the larger 5 Guineas issues. Gently worn and imbued with a uniform, mellowed golden patina, this example follows the tradition of identifying the colonial origin of the precious metal, witnessing a designation uncommon for this workhorse which so few examples surpass.
