This piece shows evidence of having been used in commerce for a considerable period of time, as the wear is quite evident. The lightly toned surfaces are a bit rough but have no major marks. The distinctive hallmark, appearing beneath the royal portrait, was used on a number of gold denominations for some decades; its intention was to show that the gold specie used to make this coin originated in the colony of Guinea in Africa.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
