GREAT BRITAIN. 5 Guineas, 1688. London Mint. James II. NGC AU-58.S-3398; Fr-293; KM-460.2. Elephant & Castle issue, second bust. Obverse: Laureate bust left; elephant & castle below; Reverse: Crowned cruciform coats-of-arms, with scepter in each quarter; scepters surmounted by orb, lis, harp, and thistle. An immensely attractive and lustrous example, this impressive specimen exhibits just the slightest degree of handling, thus preventing a Mint State designation. Nevertheless, it remains an extensively sought after issue in any grade, especially this alluring. The problem free surfaces offer originality and a charming hint of a golden-orange tone. On par with a similar piece, an NGC AU-58, which realized $64,625 in our 2013 ANA auction (sale 176, lot 20210).The interesting mark of an elephant & castle below the bust of James indicated the source of the gold used in the striking of the coin. Issues with the elephant (and later, elephant & castle) were produced with gold mined in Western Africa along what was known as the "Gold Coast." The Royal African Company was issued a monopoly by the British crown to extract, among other things, gold for the production of coinage domestically within the kingdom. The name for the denomination--along with its multiples--eventually came from this very region--Guinea. The issues are rather difficult to encounter now as many were melted over the centuries for the purpose of recoining.From the Marlborough-Blenheim Collection.
