Great Britain: Charles II gold 2 Guineas 1679 AU55 NGC,...
Description
Charles II gold 2 Guineas 1679 AU55 NGC, KM443.1, Fr-284, S-3335, ESG-216 (Bull). Second bust. An appealing type that seldom sees market appearance with any regularity, especially on the cusp of Mint State. Remnants of luster appear despite the passing of the sands of time while an attractive orange hue fills the peripherals. A wholly attractive example with an enviable pedigree to boot.Ex. Traveller Collection (Numismatic Ars Classica, May 2025, Lot 2012); Glendining (1937, Lot 589)
