Great Britain
James II gold "Elephant & Castle" Guinea 1685 MS61 PCGS, KM453.2, S-3401, EGC-322 (R2). Ever-popular are the issues of British gold coinage from the 17th and 18th centuries that are marked to identify the source of their precious metal. While the largest denominations consistently garner the most enthusiasm, these small fractions are equally as interesting and far more accessible. Laudably bold in its striking, which lends only the clearest and most well-expressed detail while framed in luxurious golden brilliance. Superbly preserved and among only a handful of Mint State specimens.
