Anne 1/2 Crown 1703-VIGO MS62 NGC, ESC-569, S-3580. VIGO below bust. Absolutely sublime with flashy variegated tones in luminous shades of blue and magenta. A truly mint-state piece where incredibly crisp detail abounds from the sharpness of the Queen's hair to the intricate folds of her draped collar. One minor hairline scratch, somewhat hidden by her curls, does not take away from the fact that this conditional rarity elicits immediate eye-appeal. An outstanding offering of this one-year type, struck from the silver bullion seized by the British at Vigo Bay. Currently among only a select few certified at this level, with only one example graded finer.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
