Charles II gold 5 Guineas 1683 AU50 PCGS, KM444.1, Fr-281, S-3331, Schneider-Unl. TRICESIMO QVINTO edge. Seldom do we find ourselves with the opportunity to handle any 5 Guineas of Charles II, with large quantities of gold hard to come by throughout this era until England's colonial aspirations were realized. Here we have the product of this expansion of global influence and subsequent influx of gold, resulting in numerous "elephant and castle" hallmarked issues as well as the designation of these denominations in "guineas." While the origin of gold is not confirmed here, the piece at hand remains largely elusive regardless and truly a coveted representative in this gently handled designation. Exclusively witnessed in lower tiers of preservation, this piece ranks among the finest, bested by three topping out at AU58.
