GREAT BRITAIN. Commonwealth. Double Crown (1/2 Unite), 1650. London Mint; mm: sun/-. NGC AU-50. S-3210; Fr-270; N-2717; KM-394.1. Obverse: St. Georges shield within wreath composed of laurel branch and palm frond; Reverse: Two shield bearing St. Georges cross (England) and harp (Ireland). Presenting a fairly pale golden look and an even strike throughout, this wholesome example dazzles with exceptional brilliance and no real evidence of wear or handling. A few subtle, scattered marks likely account for the near-Mint designation, making this a rather enticing specimen. <strong>To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=the+Augustana+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Augustana Collection.
