- Struck from Silver Seized by the British During Transport from Peru to Spain
GREAT BRITAIN. Crown, 1746-LIMA Year DECIMO NONO. London Mint. George II. NGC MS-63.
S-3689; Dav-1350; KM-585.3. This exceptionally handsome, fully Choice example is incredibly alluring on account of its deep toning and lightly lustrous nature. The details are sharply applied from a strong strike, and the surfaces are largely uninterrupted by contact of any sort. A premium example of the popular Lima type, this piece is deserving of an exceptionally strong bid from all lovers of the British milled series.
Coins struck with the word "LIMA" below the bust were produced from silver seized by the British fleet under the command of Admiral Anson. The silver in question was being shipped from Lima, Peru to Spain when it was intercepted. At the time, British and Spain were engaged in the War of Jenkins' Ear.
Estimate: $6,000 - $9,000.
