ENGLAND., rev. English and Irish shields, value .XX. above, beaded circle and legend surrounding, date at top, legend surrounding, .GOD. WITH. VS., weight 8.92g (cf. Schneider 342; Bull EGC 20 R2; N.2715; S.3208). Lightly toned, with some wear to high points and a little double struck, has been graded and slabbed by PCGS as AU55 and a rare date.
PCGS certification 499370.55/44645600.
All gold coins of this period are struck in 22 carat gold and are the first British coins to have legends in plain English. In our experience for every 25 gold Unites of the Commonwealth you see for sale, only 2 will be of the date 1654. To find the variety with the overdate and the retrograde D in legend is perhaps an even greater ratio of rarity.
Provenance:
Ex Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, Stacks Bowers, 24th August 2022, lot 31221.
