GRATIA. toothed border around rim both sides, rev. crowned quartered shield of arms, date either side of crown, legend M.B.F.ET.H. REX. F.D.B.

Toned with scuffs, scrapes and digs, slightly dished, otherwise about very fine and a very rare date for the denomination.
The Latin legends translate to on obverse "George the Third by the Grace of God" continuing on the reverse in abbreviated Latin which if in shown in full reads "Magnae Britanniae Franciae Et Hiberniae Rex Fidei Defensor Brun Et Lunebergen-sis Dux, Sacri Romani Imperii Archi-Thesaurius Et Elector" and translates as "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Luneberg, High Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire."
We note the total gold output in the calendar year of 1765 amounted to £622,377 which is one of the lower amounts in George III's reign.
Provenance:
Ex Dr Rolf Baumhauer, British gold Collection, Sincona Auction 75, 16th May 2022, lot 240 where erroneously listed as a 1764 date.
