Lot 341
Great Britain. Half Guinea, 1692. S-3431; Fr-308; KM-476.2. William & Mary, 1689-1694. Conjoined busts right, with Elephant and Castle hallmark below. Reverse: Crowned and garnished arms. Very rare, this type being coined only in 1691 and 1692. A particularly choice piece, with bold strike and exhibiting fresh luster. NGC graded MS-63.
Half Guineas as a class are rarer in high grade than full Guineas, yet are not as popular, and thus their values remain modest relative to the difficulty of obtaining any superior example.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
