Great Britain: Charles II gold "Elephant" 2 Guineas 1664 AU58 NGC,...
Description
Charles II gold "Elephant" 2 Guineas 1664 AU58 NGC, KM425.2, S-3334, Schneider-430. Elephant below bust. The first year of issue for this conditionally sensitive denomination, bearing the iconic elephant hallmark and overshadowed by the notoriety associated with the larger 5 Guineas issues. Rendered just shy of an elusive Mint State assignment by trivial amounts of friction to Charles's portrait, the specimen beams with harvest tone and a gentle residual flash to compensate. Of the nearly 40 problem-free examples between both censuses, only two rank finer, and will doubtlessly be met with strong bidder enthusiasm.Metal: Gold
