Sincona sale 75, lot 144

This specimen was lot 144 in Sincona sale 75 (Zurich, May 2022), where it sold for 24,000 CHF (about US$29,131 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Grossbritannien | Königreich. Charles II. 1660-1685. 5 Guineas 1681, London. T. TERTIO. Second laureate bust, with elephant and castle below. Selten. NGC UNC Details. Kleine Kratzer im Revers. (Rare, Small scratches on reverse.)"
