GREAT BRITAIN. 5 Guineas, 1693 Year QVINTO. London Mint. William & Mary. PCGS Genuine--Altered Surfaces, AU Details.
S-3422; Fr-299; KM-479.1. Providing impressive detail, along with just a touch of handling, this stately and presentable example demonstrates overall charm by its large size and dual busts of William and Mary. As PCGS notes, the surfaces of this piece have been altered, and this alteration has stripped most of the luster from the surface, though some remains in the protected elements. Despite this unfortunate past, any example of a 5 Guineas from William and Mary is exceedingly desirable and elusive. A chance at a more affordable specimen, this piece is strong with details and is certainly a solid representative thereof. To view all items from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, click here.
