This specimen was lot 1169 in Sincona sale 79 (Zurich, October 2022), where it sold for 19,000 CHF (about US$22,772 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Great Britain|GREAT BRITAIN]] | Königreich, Charles II. 1660-1685. 5 Guineas 1682, London. T. QVARTO. Second laureate bust. NGC AU50." The first series of gold coins of Charles II reverted to the old practice of not dating them and come in denominations of unite, double crown and crown. When milled coinage was introduced in 1663, these denominations were retired in favor of the guinea, its fractions and multiples. The guinea would be the basis for all gold issues until the reform of 1817 and took its name from the source of the original gold, the Gulf of Guinea in west Africa. The second laureate bust was used 1678-84 on the five guineas with or without an elephant below the bust. The elephant was used only 1680-84 to mark gold obtained from Africa.
