Description

Exuberant Top Pop "E&C" Guinea

James II gold "Elephant & Castle" Guinea 1688 MS62 NGC, KM459.1, S-3403, Farey-305 (Very Rare). Seldom-seen at the Guinea denomination for this "Elephant & Castle" type, with the vast majority of those of any gold denomination of the date lacking this diminutive and instantly recognizable mintmark. In dashing appearance, we have a Top Pop example that caps out the conditional appearance for the type, well struck up and wearing blooming, cool gold surfaces. With only two others gracing this lofty census position, including the ex. Millennia example we offered in 2024 that generated a bid of $43,200, we expect an elevated response by the discerning Guinea collector.

Metal: Gold
Diameter: 25mm
