Lot #1371:
1660–62 ENGLAND CHARLES II UNITE, S-3304, NGC XF 45
A handsome Charles II gold Unite from the early Restoration coinage, struck 1660–62 and certified NGC XF 45. This is a well-preserved example of the short-lived 2-Guinea denomination, showing strong remaining detail and the unmistakable elegance of early hammered gold. The king’s portrait is bold for the grade, with crisp hair curls and a clear laurel wreath. Legends are complete and sharply rendered, a notable plus on a hammered issue. The reverse shield retains excellent structure, with the quarterings and crown definition standing out against attractive, problem-free fields. Surfaces display warm, original gold color with light, even circulation wear consistent with true XF quality. Serious collectors chase quality world gold hard; this piece won’t finish quietly. Cert No. 5880727-010
