Lot 4514
Great Britain. Half Guinea, 1688. S.3404; Fr-297; KM-458.1. James II, 1685-1688. Laureate bust of King facing left. Reverse: Crowned cruciform shields with sceptres in angles. There are only three dates in this short series, and the 1688 Half Guinea is rare in any grade. Arguably the most poorly made of all the James II coinage denominations, this coin has good eye appeal, and little sign of imperfections or striking weakness. Lightly cleaned. Indeed there is a good amount of original luster. A very pleasing specimen. Extremely Fine.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
