GREAT BRITAIN. Crown, 1746-LIMA Year DECIMO NONO. London Mint. George II. NGC AU-55.
S-3689; KM-585.3. One of the enticing types that emanates from silver seized from the Spanish off the coast of Peru, this elegant Crown displays hardly any evidence of handling, all while an alluring gunmetal gray tone further entices. For completeness, some scattered haymarking is noted on the reverse, though this occurrence is quite typical of the silver of the era.
Estimate: $1500 - $3000
