Charles II hammered gold Unite ND, of 20 Shillings, struck 1660-62, S-3301, North-2753 (rare), 1st Issue without mark of value, Crown mm, AU Details "Repaired" NGC, an exceptional example struck on a full broad flan with an excellent portrait, fairly sharp crowned oval shield on reverse, much of the obverse raised rim showing, the rim on reverse displaying full beading and extra wide, in the fields some indistinct tooling and signs of being lightly cleaned -- any yet, better than most of the pieces we can trace coming to market in recent years. Despite its faults, this coin, some 352 years old, offers plenty of eye-appeal as the first gold coinage of the Restoration.
Estimate: 10000-15000 USD
