Lot 323
Great Britain. Guinea, 1666. S-3342; Fr-287; KM-424.1. Charles II, 1660-1685. Third Laureate Bust. Laureate head right. Reverse: Crowned cruciform arms, with alternating scepters at angles, central interlocking C's. Slight die rust under "66 MAG," and trifling weakness at centers, otherwise coin is unusually pretty, and very rare in this state. NGC graded MS-61.
Struck at the time of the Great Plague and the devastating Fire of London, therefore probably made in very small numbers.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
Ex Dr Jacob Y. Terner Collection.
