Lot 116
Great Britain. Pattern Broad, or Guinea, 1662. By Thomas Simon. Charles II, Laureate and Draped Bust facing left. The "FLORENT CONCORDIA REGNA" legend surrounds a square shield on the reverse, with date above. Plain edge. Not listed by Wilson & Rasmussen, but actually one of the few suggested designs for England's first golden Guinea. North-2780; KM-Pn32: rare. Virtually as struck, lovely portrait and highly lustrous obverse; struck from a concave reverse die, producing somewhat "diminished" luster. Of several seen over 22 years, this was the finest. PCGS graded AU-58.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 6,000.
