GREAT BRITAIN. Commonwealth. Double Crown, 1653. London Mint; mm: Sun/-. PCGS AU-58. S-3210; Fr-270; N-2717; KM-394.1. Weight: 4.52 gms. Obverse: St. Georges shield within wreath composed of laurel branch and palm frond; Reverse: Two shield bearing St. Georges cross (England) and harp (Ireland). This <strong>RARE</strong> and enchanting specimen features a rather crisp strike upon each side, though a hint of doubling is noted. Meanwhile, the color is a delightful olive-yellow, with some darker orange hues highlighting the devices. The level of wear is seemingly imperceptible, with this near-Mint example being exceeded in the PCGS census by just one other piece.
