Charles II gold 2 Guineas 1678/7 MS61 NGC, KM443.1, S-3335. A highly distinguished example of this perennial favorite, notable for its strong sense of originality evident in every engraved detail. Though not as rare as its "Elephant and Castle" counterpart, specimen on offer remains incredibly elusive in Mint State. Cool, lemon-toned brilliance shimmers across the protected regions, while the reverse displays particularly strong qualities, fully meriting consideration for a higher designation. Ranking among the finest certified, with only three surpassing the present, we anticipate spirited bidding crossing the auction block.
