Lot 120
Great Britain. Half Guinea, 1669. Charles II, 1st Bust. S-3347; Fr-290; KM-431. The first year of issue for the then-new half guinea, the first milled-gold coin of this size struck in England. This style, with the pointed truncation of the king, was used only for four years and is most artistic. This excellent specimen possesses lovely, fresh surfaces but exhibits typical slight weakness of strike in the king's hair and on the French crest. Very rare grade! PCGS graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000.
Ex Bridgewater House Collection.
