HIB &c PRO, Reverse; crowned quartered shield of arms of the Protectorate, date above, PAX QVÆRITVR BELLO, edge inscribed in raised letters, *.HAS. NISI. PERITVRVS. MIHI. ADIMAT. NEMO., 30.07g (N.2745; L&S 1; Bull 240; ESC 10; S.3226). Attractively toned, a superior specimen, some light marks in the field but otherwise scarcely handled. In NGC holder graded MS 61. Estimated Value $15,000 - UP
NGC Certification Number 6032089-001. The largest portrait coin of Oliver Cromwell is the magnificent silver Crown engraved by Thomas Simon. However, not long after striking commenced a crack started to emerge on the lower left side of the obverse die, progressing across the horizontal of the neck of Cromwell. This crack in the die manifests on the struck coins as a raised die flaw across the obverse, which would have been a major problem upon the freshly struck coins at the time. It is thought that many of the coins were worked upon with fine tooling to have the die flaw adjusted as much as possible, to then make them perhaps suitable for presentation. The inscription on the edge produced using the new technology of Pierre Blondeau and his castaing machine was a safeguard against the illegal practice of clipping, and was severe in its intent as the Latin translates as "Let no one remove these from me under penalty of death."

In NGC holder graded MS62. Estimated Value $7,000 - UP
NGC Certification Number 6268077-001. The abbreviated Latin legends translate as "Oliver by the Grace of God, Protector of the Republic of England, Scotland and Ireland," and on the reverse "Peace is sought by war," and additionally on the edge "Let no one remove these from me under penalty of death," a direct reference to the crime of clipping the edges of coins, which was prevalent on hammered coins of the time.

In NGC holder graded MS 63. Estimated Value $5,000 - UP
NGC Certification Number 6268077-002. The Latin legends on this coin translate as "James the Second, by the grace of God" on the obverse, "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland" on the reverse, and finally on the edge "An ornament and a safeguard, in the third year of his reign" A major influx of silver came into the mint for coinage during 1687, as a successful sea salvage operation of a treasure from the Spanish ship the Nuestra Senora de la Concepcion had occurred off the East Coast of North America. This was remarkable considering that the ship had sank some forty years before and had broken up over the Ambrosia Bank Shoal. William Phips was in charge of the successful recovery and delivery of some 25 tonnes of silver, which was made to the Mint in June 1687. Perhaps this is why much of the silver coinage of James II often shows haymarking and flaws, as the silver used had been immersed in saltwater for some 40 years before, refining, annealing and striking. The coins were also rushed in their production as 25 tonnes of silver amounting to £205,536 of coin, was to be processed making weaknesses prevalent across the larger denominations. This input from the salvage was four fifths of the silver output in coin for 1687.

A pleasing example with lightly reflective fields and excellent jugate portraits. In NGC holder graded MS 61+. Estimated Value $100,000 - UP
NGC Certification Number 6135166-001. According to "The Rarity of Five Guinea Pieces - An Analysis" that appeared in the preface of the Samuel King Collection of Highly Important English Gold Coins sold at Spink on 5th May 2005 co-written by the present cataloguer, showed that over a 45-year period preceding 2005, since 1960 that 95 examples of the Five Guineas dated 1692 plain below busts had been bought or sold in numismatic commerce, the second most often encountered of the four dates of the reign. We additionally note that the gold output for the calendar year for 1692 totalled £114,499 which was by far the highest output of the joint reign being more than double each of the other calendar years. This shows that the survival rate of this date is perhaps not as good as the preceding year which featured a larger figure of survivors in the King analysis. It is increasingly difficult to find these large gold coins in higher levels of preservation. Of the surviving pieces, 42 of this date have been certified by NGC and PCGS combined, of which just six have received a higher grade than the present offering with the highest certified at MS63.

NGC Certification Number 6031504-001. We note how unusual it is to find a VIGO crown graded into the MS levels as across both services there are a total of 69 grading records of which only five coins are currently graded higher than the present coin as of September 2021. The most intrepid of stories lays behind the capture of the Vigo treasure as opposed to the other companies or privateers who had their mark placed upon the coins in other reigns. The Battle of Vigo Bay occurred on 23rd October 1702 and it was after the Battle that the treasure largely of silver, with a tiny proportion of gold was captured and transported back to Southampton on the south coast of England. From there the treasure was brought with great pomp and ceremony to London, overseen by the Mint Master himself, one Mr Isaac Newton, to then be turned into coinage at the Royal Mint in the Tower of London. The treasure consisted of absolutely thousands of pounds in weight of silver, but a mere seven pounds and eight ounces of gold. The Latin legends translate as on the obverse "Anne by the Grace of God," and abbreviated on the reverse as "Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland." and additionally on the edge "An ornament and a safeguard, in the third year of the reign."
