- GREAT BRITAIN. Shilling, 1745. London Mint. George II. PCGS AU-53 Gold Shield. S-3703; KM-583.2. LIMA type. A boldly struck and quite attractive example of this historic type, with gentle gray toning that darkens toward the peripheries. The famous 'LIMA' marked coinage commemorates the seizure by Admiral Anson of a Spanish treasure fleet off the coast of Peru, and was supposedly struck with the silver gained from that naval action. Anson's voyage into the Pacific, executed during the so-called War of Jenkin's Ear, was meant to disrupt shipping traffic and cause general mayhem for the Spanish. Estimate: $100 - $200.
