GREAT BRITAIN. 1/2 Guinea, 1688. London Mint. James II. NGC MS-62.
S-3404; Fr-297; KM-458.1. Employing a healthy degree of original mint brilliance, this wholesome specimen immediately captures one's attention and gaze, reflecting the light rather majestically. The toning employs some deeper hues of burnt sienna in spots, furthering its alluring appeal. Merely for completeness, some haymarking--a typical aspect in the coinage of the era--is observed, mostly around the neck of the soon-to-abdicate monarch.
