This specimen was lot 20445 in Stack's Bowers ANA Auction (Denver, CO, August 2017), where it sold for $5,640. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. Unite (22 Shillings), ND (1618-19). Plain Cross Mint Mark. James I (1603-25). NGC MS-62. Fr-234; KM-47; S-2620; N-2085. Fifth bust. Initially the Unite was valued at 20 Shillings, but in 1612 a coinage reform raised the values of all gold coinage by 10% making the Unite worth 22 Shillings. This ended in 1619 when the Unite was replaced by the lighter 20 shilling pieces the "Laurel" and it's subdivisions. The present example is one of the last issued before their replacement. Well struck with minimal doubling, lustrous with light attractive tone. An interesting piece sure to excite the specialist of British numismatics."
9 g, .917 fine gold, struck 1604-19.
