George II Crown 1736 AU58 NGC, KM575.1, S-3686, ESC-1664 (prev. ESC-121). NONO edge. Plumes & Roses. The crowns of George II were the last of this denomination to be produced from West Country silver (a provenance denoted by the roses and plumes on the reverse of this example), this source becoming depleted in the mid 18th century and the production of silver coinage altogether slowing to a trickle until the early 19th century. An endearingly dark patina is accentuated by cornflower blue and peach with only minor spots of wear capping this borderline coin from a Mint State designation.
